I hope everyone enjoys the Memorial Day weekend. If you planning to enjoy the lakes, please remember to "play it safe."
Alcoa Power Generating teamed up with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and local law enforcement officials in Davidson, Montgomery, Rowan and Stanly counties earlier this week to promote the importance of water safety.
Alcoa and the local law enforcement community have been preaching the benefits of wearing a life jacket for years. This year, Alcoa went a step further and hosted a series of water safety events last weekend at High Rock and Badin Lakes. We distributed more than 200 free life jackets to children.
We will provide local law enforcement officers with additional life jackets to distribute to boaters who are not carrying an adequate number of floatation devices.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice, Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten and Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris thanked Alcoa for working with law enforcement agencies to educate the public about water safety. Alcoa provides $90,000 a year to local law enforcement to fund increased patrols of the lakes.
