Raleigh - Gov. Mike Easley is asking local officials who have not already implemented water conservation measures in their cities and counties to do so immediately as the drought continues to worsen across North Carolina. He is sending a letter to mayors and county commissioners in counties that operate public water systems. Ninety-three of the state’s 100 counties are now experiencing exceptional, extreme or severe drought.
“I am calling on all public officials in North Carolina who have not already enacted local ordinances for either voluntary or mandatory water conservation to do so immediately,” said Easley. “Public water systems are continuing to have near maximum water demands every day of the week because of the hot, dry weather and there seems to be no relief to the drought in sight.”
