## Malheur County officials focus on reservoir management following recent flooding
**Posted 8:12 PM, Mar 03, 2025**

MALHEUR COUNTY, Oregon — Malheur County is still recovering from last week's flood that affected farmlands, homes, and land across the county.

Malheur County Sheriff Travis Johnson said officials are now trying to create additional space in the reservoir in the event there is another instance of high water.

At this point, he said he’s not worried about flooding and does not expect another flood like the one seen last week unless there is significant rainfall or heavy snow.
