Water Access Alerts
The high-water conditions we experienced along the Catawba-Wateree River and lake system have created large amounts of floating debris. Because of the numerous hazards floating debris can create, we urge public boaters to maintain vigilance. Slow down please. If boaters and lake neighbors can safely recover their property, Duke Energy encourages them to do so.
