PUBLIC NOTICE – DROUGHT WATCH

Mecklenburg County, in coordination with the Roanoke River Service Authority (RRSA), is issuing a Drought Watch due to current drought conditions, declining water levels, and weather conditions affecting our regional water supply.

At this time, there are no mandatory water-use restrictions in place for Mecklenburg County citizens. However, a Drought Watch is intended to make residents and businesses aware of the current conditions and encourage voluntary conservation now to help protect our water supply should dry conditions continue.

We ask all Mecklenburg County citizens to be mindful of their water use and voluntarily reduce unnecessary consumption whenever possible.

Ways You Can Help Conserve Water
- Limit unnecessary outdoor watering of lawns, plants, shrubs, and gardens.
- Water only when necessary and avoid watering during the hottest part of the day.
- Avoid washing vehicles, driveways, sidewalks, and other outdoor surfaces unless necessary.
- Check faucets, toilets, and irrigation systems for leaks and make repairs promptly.
- Take shorter showers and avoid letting water run unnecessarily while brushing teeth, shaving, or performing other household activities.
- Run dishwashers and washing machines only when you have a full load.
- Consider postponing other non-essential uses of water when possible.
- The purpose of this notice is to help everyone understand the current conditions and begin conserving water before more restrictive measures become necessary.

Mecklenburg County and RRSA will continue to monitor water levels and drought conditions closely. If conditions worsen, Mecklenburg County may move into a Drought Warning, at which time additional voluntary conservation measures would be strongly encouraged.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and assistance in protecting Mecklenburg County’s water supply. Conserving water now helps us prepare for the possibility of continued dry conditions and reduces the likelihood that more significant restrictions will be necessary later.

Additional updates will be provided as conditions change.

Mr. Lassiter was recognized for 36 years of service on the Mecklenburg County Planning Commission, as well as a distinguished career in education and 23 years of service in the U.S. Army.

Mrs. Stone was honored in celebration of her 100th birthday on August 25 and a remarkable lifetime of faith, family, perseverance, and community service. A longtime member and servant of Jerusalem Baptist Church, she continues to inspire those around her.
