SMITHFELD – The Johnston County Department of Public Utilities is requesting customers voluntarily conserve water.
During the current period of hot, dry weather, irrigation usage in the County has created above normal water demands, and some of the County’s main purchase supply sources are temporarily limited. Officials ask that customers employ voluntary water conservation measures to limit non-essential water use.
In addition, the County is reminding customers of the mandatory year-round conservation policy. The policy allows for alternate day irrigation for in-ground irrigation systems and hose-end sprinklers based on the customer’s address. Odd number street addresses are allowed to water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays while even number street addresses are allowed to water on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. No irrigation is allowed on Mondays. Pool filling days should correspond with allowed irrigation days.
Contact Johnston County Public Utilities at 919-989-5075 with any questions.
Wow seems like the utilities and infrastructure are in the same boat as the housing market. Just cant keep up with rate people are being moved in….
Most people have no idea how fast the growth is outrunning the infrastructure and also emergency services. But the growth is good if you’re on the board of commissioners and in the real estate and building business like a majority of them are.
Get ready for those tax increase. They’ll say no tax increase and then increase how much you pay for utilities each month. Nicely done!
The county can start by turning the pressure on the water lines.
Yeah, let’s keep approving new subdivisions.
When you build mega unit apartment complexes, hello flowers and smith, you will have shortages. Perhaps the county shouldn’t have approved these massive residence compounds if we won’t have enough water for everyone. What a bunch of dopes we have running this county.
Hey county commissioners maybe you should check in with the water department before you bring in new business and issue permits for new subdivisions.
I read a lot of complaints about subdivisions and apartment complexes being approved by county commissioners and Town councilman. Look in the mirror JoCo, you’re the ones that keep voting for these same people you’re complaining about.
Who says I voted for them?
Lets build 50 story buildings as well to all the housing. Hey, I have an idea, lets stress the electric grid as well. I think the commissioners want us to be hot and thirsty. Thank God for Mt. Dew!
When I see Riverwood golf, the Neuse, archer lodge parks and rec turn their sprinklers off.. then I will worry about it. And before someone says “ they don’t draw from the water supply!”.. I don’t care. The optics are bad
Hard to take this seriously as the same government approves more development as fast as they can sign the permits.
Left hand: WE MUST CONSERVE WATER!
Right hand: WE MUST PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT AT ANY COST
“Normal” only pertains to the number of dwellings there are. If you increase the number of dwellings, then “normal” doesn’t exist. It’s another tactic in the climate change hysteria.
Talk is cheap. Lets see your names on the ballots next time. “Oh, I’m too busy”, or “Well, I don’t actually live there, sooo”. Talk is certainly cheap.
How about you? Where’s your name on the ballot? Hypocrite!!!!!!
Unfortunately, most town planners and commissioners feel that “ growth”, building homes and apartments, will increase tax revenue. Invariably the growth requires that the tax revenue is spent because those homes need schools, fire departments, police coverage, electricity, water, roads. All which require the very money they think they’re bringing in. Dopes
WELL
You think that you can fight off development with pro-business GOP leaders on the County and State levels? I don’t think so. This is the government we wanted, right?
