The City of Raleigh is in the process of designing a project aimed at enhancing Lake Wheeler and Lake Benson Dams to comply with all current standards set by the NC Dam Safety Section. This project encompasses studies focused on improving the management of operating levels to maximize water supply, flood control, and recreational activities. The project will reinforce the existing earthen embankment dam at Lake Wheeler and secure the spillways to safeguard against severe flooding incidents, including those caused by tropical systems.
