In an effort to prevent damage in the event of a natural disaster (flood or earthquake), the City of Asheville has identified proactive improvement measures to be taken at the North Fork Reservoir to protect and improve critical infrastructure and resources.
Join the City of Asheville Water Resources Department, area fire departments and consulting engineers to learn more about the North Fork Reservoir Spillway and Embankment Improvement Project.
