Due to recent heavy rains and severe weather, Alabama Power has announced that Smith Lake water levels remain above summer pool levels.

Smith Lake, located on the Black Warrior River, is expected to continue to rise as more rain is forecast later this week.

Alabama Power will continue to closely monitor conditions on the lakes and manage resources carefully. Individuals with boats and other water-related equipment and facilities should always stay alert to changing conditions on Alabama Power reservoirs and be prepared to take the necessary steps to protect their property.

Additional updates will be shared as conditions change.
