Last week, some of our team attended the North Carolina Rural Water Association (NCRWA) conference!

They had the opportunity to attend educational sessions, network with industry professionals, and represent BRWA in several exciting ways. We even entered a team in the hydrant competition — while we didn’t bring home first place, our crew gave it a valiant effort and represented us well! 💪🚒

We are also incredibly proud of Matt W., who completed his apprenticeship this past December and was recognized at the conference alongside his mentor, Dustin, for their hard work and dedication to the program. 👏

In addition, our Executive Director, Maria, led two phenomenal conference sessions — Women in Water and the Closing Session.

We’re proud of our team for continuing to grow, learn, and invest in the future of our industry. We’re excited to see them apply the knowledge and experience gained at conference to the dedicated work they do every day here at BRWA! 💧

🌎VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION REQUEST🌎

Due to ongoing drought conditions across Western North Carolina, we are asking customers to voluntarily conserve water to help protect our shared water supply.

Simple ways to help:
🚿Take shorter showers
💧Turn off faucets when not in use
🗑️Run full loads of laundry/dishes only
🌱Limit outdoor watering
🚗Reduce car washing
🚫Avoid washing driveways, sidewalks, and patios
⏳Delay new landscaping work

Small changes make a big difference and help us reduce demand while protecting the Broad River water source.

Thank you for helping us conserve water!

💧 FAQ of the Month 💧
Why does my water look cloudy?

Cloudy water is often the result of air becoming trapped in the water system, especially after changes in water flow, pressure, or recent maintenance. When this happens, tiny air bubbles can give your water a white or cloudy appearance.

In most cases, this is temporary and not a safety concern. Try filling a clear glass and letting it sit—if the water clears from the bottom up, it’s just air bubbles.

However, if the cloudiness doesn’t go away or looks more like discoloration, it could be something else. Feel free to reach out to us so we can take a closer look.
