Scheduled Flow Releases

On October 4, 2007 Duke Energy declared that the Catawba-Wateree Basin is in a Stage 3 drought condition. During this time Duke Energy is working with local public water systems and other water users to conserve the remaining water stored in our reservoirs for as long as possible. During this time, Duke’s hydroelectric operations have been significantly reduced and we are providing scheduled flow releases on a limited basis. Duke is unable to provide releases for recreational purposes until further notice.

Scheduled flow releases are subject to variability based upon natural conditions and /or unexpected changes in hydro project operation. Duke Energy may, at any time, and without prior warning, change operations of our hydro facilities in response to high electricity demand, flooding, electric system emergencies or other conditions. Please remember to stay 300 feet away from the upstream and downstream sides of the dam and powerhouse. Do not enter the tailrace section directly below hydroelectric stations. These areas are prone to a sudden rise and violent turbulence in the water.
