1. More water problems for Mooresville residents. According to WCNC.Com, "water customers who use Carolina Water Service have found out the company has petitioned for a rate hike for the next three years, after already having one this year.WCNC Charlotte reached out to Carolina Water Service to ask why there will be an over 70% rate increase in just four years. WCNC Charlotte asked for an on-camera interview and was denied, but Carolina Water Service sent a statement: "At Carolina Water Service of North Carolina, we know our customers rely on us to deliver safe and reliable water to their homes and businesses. While we recognize that there is never a good time to ask customers to pay more for a product or service, the proposed rate increase is essential to the company’s ability to deliver a safe and reliable water supply. Since March of 2021, CWSNC has invested, or is in the process of investing, $17.3 million of dollars in a number of water and wastewater projects across the state of North Carolina. The rates our customers pay support these much-needed repairs and improvements that allow CWSNC to meet our obligations to the communities we serve." ' (WCNC.com)
