At the end of each week, we'll post 5 notes of interest that you might have missed from the past week or were mentioned in the Friday phone call. You can sign up for the weekly phone call on Fridays by calling 855-502-7867.
Here is the Friday Five for the week of January 20th-24th:
- WATER CONCERNS: A recent report by Environmental Working Group has created concerns involving water quality in Brunswick County.
Brunswick County Government reports their weekly water test samples have continuously remained below the EPA's established health advisory levels and as customers of county utilities, we will follow their lead with normal operations. There are no water advisories from county utilities at this time. Brunswick County Government would notify all customers if any of its routine test samples exceed health advisory levels and Brunswick County Schools would make necessary adjustments should any kind of health advisory be issued in the future.
Brunswick County Government has provided very helpful information regarding the report. You can find the information by clicking HERE.
