Reservoir Drain Test - Thursday, March 27, 2025 Between 7AM-12PM

Reservoir Drain Test Sign - Thursday, March 27, 2025: 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM

The Town of Lake Lure will be testing the new reservoir drain at the Dam on 3/27/25, shortly after 7:00 AM. 

  • As a reminder, the Dam Bridge will be closed on Buffalo Shoals Road during these times.

  • For those living downstream of the Lake Lure Dam, there will be noticeably more flow than usual, but likely not enough to cause significant flooding. 

  • Although we do not anticipate flooding, use caution near rivers and streams as water levels may vary in certain areas.

  • The testing will occur between 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM.

The Town of Lake Lure is very pleased to have the new reservoir drain project completed and we appreciate everyone's support.
