Pender County Water Wait Still Lingers | Wilmington News
Description
Fifteen hundred Pender County residents paid decades ago for guaranteed water access — some even back in the 90s — but still wait for pipes to arrive. Tap fees rose 19% since then, yet no timeline was ever promised. Now county leaders face tough choices: automatic refunds, refund-on-request, or just letting folks know refunds are an option. Frustration mounts as families rely on wells, dealing with discolored water and foul odors. One commissioner heads to Raleigh seeking funding to accelerate infrastructure — hoping to bring solutions back to the board and finally deliver clean water to those who’ve waited too long.
