Important Update for Approved Contractors in Lake Lure's Commercial Model

Important Update for Approved Contractors in Lake Lure's Commercial Model

On Monday, 11/25/24, Lake Lure Town Council announced that the Lake is now open to approved commercial contractors to navigate the waters to haul out or service motorized boats at their customers’ request. Additionally, approved service contractors may begin work on the lake as outlined below.

Please note that lake debris removal continues at this time and their work is a priority. 

  • While on Lake Lure during this continued State of Emergency, navigate the waters with respect for other contractors. 

  • Debris contractors working with the US Army Corps of Engineers must take precedent and should be yielded to whenever possible. Please do not impede their progress.

  • Stay clear of their boats and barges and do not block their path or interfere with their work in any way. 

  • Failure to comply may result in discontinuation of lake privileges.

Debris Contractors as well as commercial service contractors in the Lake Lure Commercial Model are now authorized to access the lake using their commercially permitted boats.

  • Commercial service contractors not currently approved in the commercial model may apply for a commercial service permit by contacting prladmin@townoflakelure.com to be considered.

  • This will allow work on lake structures to resume from water; however, concrete work is excluded at this time due to a need for fluctuating lake levels for debris removal. (Please note that permits are still required)

Building contractors should submit a scope of work regarding lake use activities (with permits) to Community Development.
