Local water supplies get state recognition

Maggie Valley Sanitary District and the town of Waynesville got props from the N.C. Division of Water Resources for an outstanding drinking water supply earlier this summer. The water providers were two of 38 statewide to receive the N.C. Area Wide Optimization Award for surpassing federal and state drinking water standards with outstanding low turbidity levels. Turbidity is a measure of water’s cloudiness.
