SEVEN POINTS -- A heavy rainfall starting just before midnight Monday and lasting into late this morning dumped enough water in Cedar Creek Lake to fill it up again. The sight of lake waters lapping just under the piers of lake homes and business was a welcome sight to residents who saw the lake fall eight-foot low last summer. Last summer, the lake reached its lowest level ever since its construction in the mid-1960s. About 4.5 inches of rain fell in the almost 12-hour period, according to a private rain gauge on a ranch near Seven Points. In addition to the lake filling up, local creeks and stock tanks also topped out. On some county roads water covered low-lying areas causes cars to turn around rather than attempt crossings. The lake actually rose above its full pool level by .04-foot, according to the Tarrant Regional Water District report on lake levels issued at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday. The report showed other lake levels monitored by TRWD to be overfilled, including Lake Eagle Mountain, .94-foot, Lake Arlington, 3.78-foot and Lake Benbrook, 3.34-foot. Two of the lakes overseen by TRWD still showed low levels. Richland-Chambers lake was under filled by .18-foot and Lake Bridgeport was recorded at 5.82-foot low. The lake levels are expected to continue to rise as runoff continues into the lake from the heavy rainfall across Dallas-Fort Worth and the area's surrounding counties. Cedar Creek Lake's refilling is a relief for businesses that struggled during the summer to survive and homeowners who could not launch their boats or fish from their piers because the water had vanished. TRWD officials had warned late last year the drought and the low lake level could last through the summer of 2012. An unusually wet winter with several unexpected heavy rainfalls has led to lake levels rising earlier than was expected. Pictures below show scenes Tuesday afternoon after the rain ended.
