City of Whiteville Voluntary Water Conservation Request Effective Date: July 17, 2026 Due to recent extreme heat and drought conditions affecting our region, the City of Whiteville is enacting a Stage 1 Voluntary Water Shortage Alert. Columbus County is currently in a Drought Classification 3, Extreme Drought (D3). We are asking all residents and commercial customers to voluntarily reduce overall water consumption by 10%. Voluntary cooperation is crucial for protecting available water resources and maintaining sufficient capacity for essential needs such as drinking water and fire protection. The city has a robust well system and there are no critical shortages currently. By acting early, we hope to avoid further restrictions. Recommended Voluntary Conservation Measures: • Outdoor Irrigation: Limit lawn and landscape watering to a minimum. • Prevent Water Waste: Avoid hosing down impervious surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, or patios. • Vehicle Washing: Limit or delay the washing of personal vehicles and boats. • Indoor Use: Wash only full loads of clothes washers and dishwashers. Fix any dripping faucets, showerheads, or running toilets promptly. • Pools and Fountains: Delay filling swimming pools, wading pools, and decorative water features. We will continue to monitor local drought conditions and will provide updates as conditions change. For ongoing drought status, you can review current alerts via the US Drought Monitor of North Carolina. Your cooperation and proactive conservation efforts are greatly appreciated.
