👉 POTENTIAL HIGH WATER LEVELS ON NEW RIVER STARTING WEDNESDAY👈

Appalachian Power wants boaters and recreational users downstream of Claytor Dam to know water levels on the New River could rise rapidly starting Wednesday, July 5, and continue through the week.

The National Weather Service is calling for extreme hot temperatures over the next few days, which could require us to increase power generation at Claytor Dam to maintain reliability of the regional electric grid.

If we are notified to increase power generation, we will have little time to alert the public about the potential of increased downstream flows.
Please continue to check back for updates as they become available.

Three good friends went for a swim.
The one who was fat wished she was thin.
The one who was curvy wished she was clever.
The one who was clever wished she swam better.
The really great swimmer wished she was witty.
The one who was witty wished she was pretty.
All three friends thought the other two were just fine.
If only they could let their own bright light shine.
So throw on your swimsuit if you're fat or you're thin.
Enjoy fun and friendship .... love the skin that you're in!
