Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 28, 2010

Johnston County – Due to unprecedented high water demand and temporary limitations in the Johnston County water distribution system, the County Manager is issuing a water shortage advisory. While the advisory is in effect, customers are requested to employ voluntary conservation measures to limit water use (especially Class 3 non-essential uses) and to eliminate waste of water.

Class 3 water uses include (but are not limited to) outdoor non-commercial watering and irrigation, private vehicle washing, and fire system testing. A complete list of Class 3, non-essential uses of water are provided on the Johnston County website (johnstonnc.com).

If you have other concerns about the advisory, please call Johnston County Public Utilities at 989-5075.
