Water Use Restriction Modifications
Tuesday, December 02, 2008 (17 reads)
 
As a result of the gradual recovery of our water supplies we are able to continue to allow customers an additional day of outdoor residential landscape irrigation on Tuesdays, until further notice. While lake and stream flows are at or near normal, we will continue to monitor water levels in the event they fall below accepted levels. The improvements give us comfort in allowing additional outdoor water use for customers considering to reestablish their lawns or install new plants.
Therefore, water use restrictions for customers of Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Landis and Mount Pleasant are amended effective immediately. These restrictions apply to the use of water sold by these municipalities.

| Local Food Initiative Could Mean Fresher and Safer Food for N.C. Consumers
Friday, November 28, 2008 (48 reads)
November 26, 2008 – As we officially enter the holiday season, food plays a key role in holiday festivities and gift giving. Lots of families will enjoy lovingly prepared homemade recipes – without stopping to realize that homemade does not necessarily mean fresh and local. How far did that turkey travel to get to your family’s table? Were the apples used in your homemade pie grown here in North Carolina, or shipped in from out of state?
A new movement is underway in North Carolina to make locating and buying locally produced foods easier for consumers and those in the food industry. The overall goal is to build a local food system in North Carolina that will supply the majority of local food needs, to provide more access to fresh foods and to increase the safety of our foods. The effort also can protect open space, decrease the use of fossil fuels and protect our environment by relying less on food shipped here from across the country.
