Alabama Power is surveying recreational users of the Tallapoosa River as part of its Harris Dam relicensing process.

The dam’s license is set to expire Nov. 30, 2023. Alabama Power must file an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a new license by Nov. 30, 2021.

Survey results will be used to inform the company’s understanding of recreational use of the Tallapoosa River. The results will be submitted with the license application as part of the application’s recreation report.

The public can participate in the electronic survey beginning today. The survey will remain open until March 31. The survey is available through the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tallapoosauser.
