To support planned maintenance activities at the Cedar Cliff Dam, the Cedar Cliff hydro station will be out of service from January 2nd through May 1st, 2020. A spillway gate will be open during this time and releases through the spillway gate will fluctuate as inflows increase and decrease. Dangerous high flow conditions can exist downstream of Cedar Cliff hydro station. Flows will be significantly higher during rainfall events. Cedar Cliff Lake will continue to be maintained at lower levels during this work. The boat ramp at the Cedar Cliff Access Area will be unavailable during the drawdown and the access area will be closed. The site will remain closed until construction is complete and the lake returns to a level of 93 feet or greater. Updated lake levels are available any time at duke-energy.com/lakes, by calling 800.829.5253, or on the Duke Energy Lake View mobile app.
