The City wants to hear your thoughts about how Greensboro responds when its public drinking water supply system is low, affecting water availability for human consumption, sanitation, health and fire protection. The procedures listed in this plan represent the City’s formal response to such water shortages.
State rules require systems to publish their plan for public comment every five years. No substantive changes have been made to Greensboro's, but City staff encourage you to review its draft, 2023 City of Greensboro Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) by November 18. Ways to share your comments about the plan are:
- Email written comments to Mike Borchers, Water Resources director, or Scott Jewell, Water Supply manager.
- Call the director at 336-373-2494 or Water Supply manager at 336-373-7900.
Greensboro is located at the top of the Cape Fear Watershed and depends on surface water stored in reservoirs for its water supply, which makes the City more vulnerable than many utilities to periods of draught. For this reason, the City’s WSRP is based on the percentage of available surface water storage in its reservoirs.
Questions? Contact Jewell at 336-373-7900.
