Fearrington Green Scene Meeting Program December 13, 2023



Topic: MORE ABOUT FEARRINGTON WATER


All residents who share a concern for the quality of our drinking water are encouraged to attend this ( free ) event.


At our November Green Scene Meeting we heard an enlightening presentation by “Haw Riverkeeper”, Emily Sutton, who outlined the Haw River Assembly’s four-decades-long commitment to “preserving and protecting” the 110 mile long Haw River watershed. Emily pointed out that the Haw River is one of 3 tributaries to Jordan Lake. And, the other two - Morgan Creek and New Hope Creek - are more important to Fearrington residents, because they empty into the Northern end of Jordan Lake. And it is the Town of Cary Water Intake Facility - on the East shore of the Northern part of the lake, just North of Route 64 - from which we in Fearrington get our drinking water.

At our December 13th Green Scene meeting, at 11:00 AM at The Gathering Place, we will hear a presentation by Jamie Revels, the Town of Cary Utilities Director, who will explain to us the logistics ( including monitoring, periodic testing, and testing results ) of the water system between the Cary Intake and our homes. Mr. Revels is a Professional Engineer who has been with Cary for more than 24 years, and has served as Utilities Director for more than 14 years.

Cary’s intake facility performs a number of tests of the water on an ongoing basis - with the results ( going back a few years ). A number of these water quality reports are available on their water report website and are now also available here, where readers can download the full PDF by selecting the associated icons in the menus at the top of each flip book linked below for the years 2012 to 2022:
