This page provides levee safety warning to the residents who live in or near the area protected by the Huntington Levee. The levee diverts the flow of water in Cameron Run and reduces the risk of flooding. However, it is important to remember that while levees reduce the risk from flooding events, they do not eliminate that risk.

Levees can be overtopped or fail during flood events exceeding the design control level. If a levee fails, the result can be more destructive to lives and property than if the levee had not been present. Additionally, storm events exceeding the design level for the pump station that manages the internal drainage flows also have the potential to cause flooding. Fairfax County monitors the Huntington levee and has a flood response plan for the Huntington community to guide actions and possible evacuation measures during extreme storm events.
