Here are five fast facts about Falls Lake:

1. Falls Lake is the source of most of Raleigh ’ s drinking water. The reservoir is located in northern Wake County.

2. Water from Falls Lake is treated at the E.M. Johnson Water Treatment Plant, which processes an average of 41 million gallons per day.

3. Falls Lake was created in 1978 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help prevent flooding and supply water to our communities.

4. The Falls Lake Watershed spans multiple counties and directly affects the quality of Raleigh ’ s water. Our customers help maintain these watersheds — and you can see your contribution on your water bill. Healthy watersheds are essential for keeping our drinking water clean and safe.
