H2GO issues Stage 4 Water Conservation Alert; all irrigation prohibited

LELAND, N.C. (WECT) - Brunswick Regional Water and Sewer H2GO on Wednesday, June 19, issued a Stage 4 Water Shortage Alert, prohibiting all irrigation until further notice.
The utility says that all non-essential water use is not allowed and that non-compliance could result in civil penalties.

“Excessive customer irrigation has continued to increase over the past several weeks putting the water system at capacity and threatening the integrity of water supply wells,” an H2GO announcement states.

H2GO says it plans to evaluate daily water demands, system capacities, water supply well rates and rain amounts to figure out sustainable customer use and potential easing of restrictions.
