All of the District's water comes from a ground water supply.  The treatment plant is located in our main office at 560 NC Highway 55 East.  During the treatment process, our water passes through 2 aerators to help remove hydrogen sulfide from the water.  The water then is filtered to reduce levels of iron and manganese in the water.  During this step, a small amount of sodium permanganate is added to aid in the process.  The water then passes through softeners to remove the hardness (calcium and magnesium) in the water.  A small amount of zinc-orthophosphate is added to help with corrosion control.   Chlorine gas is used to disinfect the water.  The water is safe to drink.   We are proud the it meets or exceeds all federal and state standards. 

Sometimes, iron deposits from the inside walls of the water main break loose and can cause the water to have a yellow, red, or brown color to it.  This typically happens during hydrant testing or flushing.  Please call our office so we may flush your area.
