Columbus County recently issued the following announcement.
Press Release for Potential Water System Extension Projects
Due to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 virus, the Columbus County Public Utilities Department will be extending the sign up period for the potential water system extension projects in Water Districts I, II, III, and V for an additional 30 days.
Any resident who is interested in connecting to County water will need to come to our office by June 30, 2020, fill out an application, and pay the fees associated with the water service request. The residential tap fee will be $100 and the security deposit will be $50 for homeowners and $100 for renters.
Please remember to bring a copy of your driver’s license and property ownership documentation with you to complete the application process. This application process applies to individuals who own property on the following roads: Cedar Tree Road, Frank Norris Road, Sandy Pitt Road, Wright Road, Clarendon Chadbourn Road, Joe Piver Road, Otto Nance Road, Inman Lake Road, Lynn Hill Road, Merritt Road, and Seven Creeks Hwy.
The Columbus County public water supply system offers a variety of benefits to the residents of Columbus County. Over the last few years, major storms have affected our County and have caused many residents to be without water for days and even weeks.
During these outages, the Public Utilities Department has been able to provide clean, potable drinking water to our customers. The Public Utilities Department is very excited about the future growth of our system and we look forward to serving you.
If you have any questions, please contact the Public Utilities Department at 910-642-5257 and staff will be happy to assist you.
