(Beaver County, PA) Emergency officials in Beaver County were closely monitoring water levels at the Connoquenessing Creek yesterday. Ice that was melting led to ice jams up and down the creek and water levels that were rapidly changing. The ice jams can also cause flood risk. Water levels at the creek near Franklin Township measured under 5 feet around 10:15 a.m. It rose about 2.5 feet in just fifteen minutes. Water levels were back to where they started by yesterday evening. According to county emergency officials, they will continue to monitor the water level in the creek.
