Raleigh Outside Watering Ban 2007

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Trombley Real Estate

Our Govener for the State of North Carolina has asked everyone to conserve water.

Raleigh City Council has now banned outside watering in hopes to help Falls Lake that is down 7 1/2 feet.

These tighter restriction will only help 9 days of water supply. Then what? I just hope we get rain fall so we do not go to the then what senerio.

There are homeowners that are still being fined up and over the $200 for watering on the wrong days and times. We will see what happens now with no watering being enforced.

Here I was hoping for a Hurricane. Am I being Crazy here or what.

Well, I am still looking for a good 3 to 5 day soaking rain and hoping the mountains will get the rain to fill our lakes back up.

Barry, I looked at a map of the USA and I saw we are not the only place that is having the water issue. I just cannot believe it is this bad when this summer the plains were flooded.

Richard - I wish nobody would have to go through this situation. But, I guess the world has to go around.

Thanks for your comment.
