Summit County Sheriff John Minor cancelled a voluntary evacuation order this morning for residents of Montezuma after water levels on Peru Creek subsided, authorities say.
Minor issued the evacuation order after a partially blocked culvert threatened to flood homes on Montezuma Road at Peru Creek, according to the sheriff.
The creek dropped between two and three feet last night, said Tracy LeClair, spokeswoman for the Summit County Sheriff’s Department.
“We’ll continue to keep a close eye on it, just to make sure there aren’t any further issues,” Minor said.
Most residents chose not to evacuate, LeClair said.
