Doubt About the Drought?
A few showers, but the drought persists. “The precipitation only increased the lake level by a few tenths of an inch and did not make a meaningful impact on overall drought conditions.” Assistant Director Ed Buchan explains where we stand during the drought now.
The Stage 1 Water Restrictions are still in effect. You have questions, we have answers.

Building Safety Month
May is Building Safety Month, and we’re giving a shout-out to some of our sewer professionals who help keep our communities safe. Beneath buildings and homes are miles of water and sewer pipes. The fats, oils, and greases (F.O.G.) we put down the drains have a big impact on them. That’s why fats, oils, and grease are a no-go for healthy pipes.
Keep up with Building Safety Month on our social media! Later this week we'll spotlight our Raleigh Water Capital Improvement Project Inspectors.
