- Anson County residents relieved as water service returns after outage
Water service was restored in parts of Anson County after a three-day outage caused by a water main leak and pipe blowout. Engineers and contractors worked to fix the aging infrastructure, with full restoration expected by Monday or Tuesday. Residents are advised to boil water until quality tests confirm safety, and donations from Duke Energy and the state are being distributed.
- Anson County is losing millions of gallons of water. Is a solution in sight?
Anson County is losing over half of its treated water due to aging infrastructure, with 134 million gallons unaccounted for in a single month. County officials acknowledge significant financial waste and cite challenges like a 60-year-old water main and malfunctioning technology. A $9 million project to replace water treatment filters is underway, but funding gaps for critical repairs like a $500,000 generator remain.
