Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities has successfully repaired the 54-inch water main along Providence Road.
All utilities customers south of I-85 can return to one weekend day of outdoor water use effective Saturday, 6/28.
Water conservation efforts and restrictions remain necessary as the Charlotte area struggles with the continuing Stage 3 drought.
Needing a refresher on what’s allowed?

Example: 123 Main Street. > Customers with even-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on Sundays. Example: 124 Main Street. REMEMBER: Your watering day ends at midnight.
