PRESS RELEASE 08122026-15:06
CONNERSVILLE CITY & FAYETTE COUNTY FLOOD WARNING

The Whitewater River is expected to rise above its 18-foot flood stage and could reach approximately 23 feet, creating the potential for significant flooding throughout portions of Connersville and Fayette County.
If the river reaches the predicted level of approximately 23 feet, flooding could impact portions of downtown Connersville, particularly from Veterans Memorial Drive north along West Western Avenue and east toward the Whitewater River.
Residents should also be prepared for flooding in East Connersville neighborhoods near the river and in county areas along both sides of the southern portion of the Whitewater River, especially:
• Nulltown
• Alpine
• Robinson’s Whitewater Campground
• Homes near Ott Road
Floodwaters could also extend farther north and affect:
• Portions of Park Road
• Neighborhoods north of the CSX railroad tracks
• Areas potentially extending as far north as 17th Street
• County areas near Shelton’s Plat, Waterloo Road, and Neuman Lake Road
Residents in these areas should closely monitor conditions. If your home or business is in an area that could flood, make plans to relocate now and leave before floodwaters approach.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL WATER REACHES YOUR PROPERTY
Residents and businesses in flood-prone areas are strongly encouraged to seek a safe alternative location now and leave while it is still daylight and roads remain passable.
Conditions can deteriorate quickly as river levels rise.
For information regarding evacuations, call the Emergency Hotline at (866) 211-9966.
If you do not have a safe place to evacuate, Connersville High School will be open as an evacuation location. Please enter through the Office Entrance.
