Episode Details

Patrick County’s Ararat River dams are getting a major safety upgrade thanks to $683,100 in state grants—part of a $5 million statewide effort to boost dam resilience and flood protection. Engineering studies will assess Dam 1, 2, and 3, which face alarming failure risks during heavy rain—up to 50% for Dam 2 and 40% for Dam 3. With help from the Army Corps of Engineers and local officials, this funding will drive critical upgrades to prevent catastrophic flooding and safeguard nearby communities.
