Recent news
| Membership renewal can be mailed to: LAKE WATEREE ASSOCIATION P.O. BOX 2132 Camden, SC 29020 Duke Energy promised to provide as much advance notice as possible when there are significant changes to the lake level requirements. The purpose of this email is to provide advance notice of Lake Wateree needing to be at 98.0 ft by Feb. 20 to allow the project team to load barges and equipment on the lake. The lake is expected to remain at 98.0 ft until Feb 26. On Feb 27, we will begin lowering the lake back down to 93.5 ft. It is estimated the lake will take about a week to return to 93.5 ft. Any homeowners working on their shoreline or docks, please prepare your property and equipment for the temporary higher lake level. Access areas that are currently closed will remain closed while the lake is higher. Duke Energy appreciates your patience and understanding during this project. The following message has been updated on the web: Starting Feb. 6, Duke Energy needs to raise the level of Lake Wateree to load barges and equipment into the lake for the construction activities on the Wateree dam. The lake level will begin to rise slowly and is expected to be at 98.0 ft by Feb. 20. Lake Wateree will remain at or near 98.0 ft until Feb. 26. Beginning on Feb. 27, Lake Wateree will gradually decline back to 93.5 ft. and will be maintained between 93.0 ft. and 94.0 ft. (with 100 ft. corresponding to full pond) until further notice. It is expected to take at least one week to return the lake to 93.5 ft, however, weather conditions and river inflows can impact this estimate. Duke Energy will provide updates to changes in lake levels and their duration as well as significant changes to the schedule with as much advance notice as possible.
