House Creek drains a little over 4000 acres of northern Copperas Cove onto the Fort Hood reservation.  Much of this area is covered with impervious surfaces such as buildings and pavement.  As a result, during periods of heavy precipitation, the runoff quickly causes flooding at low water crossings, including this one on Georgetown Road.  Station 4 is the lead sensor on the House Creek system.
