Fearrington Green Scene January 10, 2024 Program Presentation

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FEARRINGTON VILLAGE DRINKING WATER

Wednesday, January 10, 2024 meeting at 11:00 AM till Noon in The Gathering Place

Those of us who attended the December 13, 2023 meeting experienced an enlightening presentation by Jamie Revels, Utilities Director for the Town of Cary. The presentation was especially enlightening because Cary controls the Water Intake Facility, which is located on the edge of Jordan Lake where our drinking water originates. Cary’s intake facility performs a number of tests of the water on an ongoing basis - with the results ( going back a few years ) are available on their water report website and are now also available via this link on the Green Scene Blog.

A key takeaway from his presentation is the fact that once our water goes through the initial Cary intake process, it is “passed along” to a pumping facility located a short distance away. This facility is controlled by the Chatham County Public Utilities Department and what happens to our water at that point becomes their responsibility. 

This is why we arranged for Blake Mills, Chatham County Director of Public Utilities, together with Chris Summerlin, Assistant Utilities Director, and Daniel Clevenger the Manager of the County Water Treatment Plant who are responsible for the pumping and testing of that water as it travels to our homes who also addressed the 46 residents who attended the presentation.
