The well-being and safety of our customers and the residents of Lake Gaston is a priority for Dominion Energy. With the approach of Hurricane Florence, we are readying the dams at Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake by preparing the spillway gates for quick operation, inspecting equipment and reviewing high flow procedures.

If Florence should cause significant flooding in the Roanoke River Basin, Dominion will work closely with the Corps of Engineers to manage the water flow for both the lakes and downstream, but if severe flooding occurs, the lakes and the river may rise higher than what has occurred in the past and lakeside and riverside owners should prepare their property now by moving items to higher ground or securing those items that cannot be moved.
