Monroe, North Carolina

The City of Monroe Water Resources Department has announced the opening all city lakes, Lake Lee, Lake Monroe, and Lake Twitty, effective March 1st. The open season will run from March 1, 2009 to approximately Nov. 1, 2009. Hours of operations are generally sunrise to sunset and can be confirmed by checking with the lake warden stations at each lake. No activity is allowed on the lakes after sunset. The November closing date will be adjusted due to weather and other factors and will be announced approximately two weeks before the lakes close.

The operation of the City lakes is governed by City and State regulations. The City must comply with North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources drinking water regulation in operating the lakes since they are classified for use as a drinking water supply source.

If you have questions regarding the regulations governing the use of the lakes, please contact the City of Monroe Water Resource Department at 704-282-4600.
