LYNCHBURG, Va. – Lynchburg is looking to remove the College Lake Dam, which officials say is hazardous to the community. The city’s Water Resources department just launched a website to inform the community on the new project. Lynchburg Water Resources looks to start construction early 2023, once the Lakeside Bridge construction is complete. “The spillway of College Lake Dam, if it were built today, would need to be 12 times the size of what it currently is,” said Erin Hawkins, the project manager. Lynchburg Water Resources will host a virtual town hall next week for members of the community.

Artists paint Lynchburg storm drains to encourage environmental awareness

LYNCHBURG, Va. - If you're driving or walking down Fifth Street in Lynchburg, you might notice some new, eye-catching artwork where the water runoff flows. Lynchburg Water Resources' "Art Storm" contest commissioned six storm drain murals on the street, which artists painted Saturday. The art aims to encourage people to think harder about their impact on the environment, because the water runoff from Fifth Street flows directly into the James River. "Don't throw trash down the drain," said Zaynah Hilderbrand, who painted one of the six new murals. Life is hard, so it's not on the forefront of people's minds all the time, but this will have an effect, I believe."
