Clean water talk in Reems Creek Reems Creek


A free Drinking Water Rights


ESTIMATE a $


100 value


workshop from 9:30 am to 11:30 am on Saturday (Feb. 19) at the Reems Creek Fire Department in Weaverville will familiarize guests with the rights they have as a North Carolinian about clean drinking water, whether they use a public water supply or a private well. Katie Hicks of Clean Water for


NC, the nonprofit hosting the work- shop, said, “Over half of NC’s popu- lation depends on groundwater, either from private wells or community wells. Tere are very few protections for pri- vate well users, especially of older wells, so the more people know about their water’s source, the better.” Part of the program will focus on


concerns associated with groundwater in the Weaverville region, including common natural well contaminants like iron and iron bacteria. Informa- tion will be on hand on how to test wells and what to do about common problems. Te program will also cover the


advantages and disadvantages of dif- ferent water systems. Clean Water for NC is particularly worried about customers of privately-owned utilities, Hicks said. “Companies are moving swiftly to


buy up small, rural systems through- out the state, and we want to help residents understand their rights,” she added.


Meeting our Neighbors’ Needs


Stone Ridge Neighborhood Shopping Center


Tis includes many in Buncombe


County, such as mobile home parks supplied by community wells where residents must pay the landlord for wa- ter usage. Te discussion will include strategies for all residents to use to get involved in decisions affecting their drinking water. Clean Water for North Carolina is a


nonprofit, bipartisan organization pro- moting clean, safe water in communi- ties throughout the state. All are wel- come for this free event, but guests are asked to call or e-mail ahead to RSVP. Contact 1-800-929-4480 or katie@ cwfnc.org for more information.
