Ongoing Storm Water Pumping Operations Keep Corolla Residents Informed and Safe

Corolla, NC – Ongoing Storm Water Pumping Operations

Hey there, Corolla residents and visitors! We wanted to keep you updated on the current situation as the storm water pumping operations are very much still underway in our beautiful coastal town. Today is Monday, September 23, 2024, and the County is actively working to manage any storm-related flooding in the area. With the ongoing operations, it’s essential for everyone to stay informed and navigate the area safely.

Stay Cautious Around Pumping Equipment

As these pumping operations continue, individuals should definitely exercise caution when near the equipment. This heavy machinery plays a crucial role in helping us deal with the storm water, and ensuring everyone’s safety is a top priority. If you come across any of the discharge water at the various outfall locations on the beach, it’s best to steer clear. Although it may look like a harmless puddle, it can carry unexpected debris or current that could pose risks.

Current Pumping Locations

Pumping is actively ongoing across several locations in the area. If you’re out and about, remember that the operations are aimed at minimizing any flooding issues and ensuring that our roads and beaches are as safe as possible. We’re all cheering on the workers fighting the good fight against flooding!

Beach Access and Tides

To all the adventure seekers out there, a quick heads-up: the 4WD beach access may be impassable during specific periods. It’s important to plan accordingly if you intend to take your vehicle onto the sand. The rule of thumb is to avoid the beach for about two hours before high tide and two hours after high tide. Keeping an eye on the tide information can really help you avoid any unplanned adventures in the sand! For updates, you can check official tide information sources regularly.

Community Support and Engagement

In brighter news, we’re excited to share that Towne Bank has stepped up as the sponsor for the upcoming OBX Brewtag beer garden. This exciting event, which blends crafts, brews, and community, is a great way to support local businesses while enjoying some good times together. Even amid some challenging weather, the spirit of our Corolla community shines through with events like these!

Looking Ahead

As we move into tomorrow, Tuesday, we expect the effects of coastal flooding to linger, so staying informed will be key. Currituck County is working tirelessly to keep our oceanfront and neighborhoods safe during this season. As things continue to change, we’ll be right here to provide the updates you need while you enjoy everything Corolla has to offer.
