We're proud to announce that we are one of the first municipalities in North Carolina to become a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency WaterSense partner.

    As a WaterSense partner, we'll be helping our customers learn about and identify water-efficient products in the marketplace that have been independently certified for efficiency and performance. Look for the WaterSense label on appliances and fixtures in stores, and in selecting water-related services such as irrigation specialists.

    As the drought of 2007 continues into 2008, our partnership with the EPA further enhances our water conservation educational efforts. We encourage you to use water wisely and replace inefficient fixtures in order to conserve water.

    Ready to start conserving more? Call the Public Works and Utilities Department at 469-4090 to request a water flow bag to test the efficiency of your showerheads and faucets or a Toilet Training Tutorial to help you detect and repair leaks. If you need an efficient showerhead or faucet aerator (bathroom or kitchen), you can pick one up free of charge from our Operations Center at 400 James Jackson Ave.
