Given the watery tone of this Gazette issue, we thought it would be helpful to hear from Town Manager Kip Padgett about the working relationship between the town and Raleigh Water.
We asked, and he wrote back: “We have a great working relationship with Raleigh Water. They are included in the review of our plans, coordination on projects and planning for capacity.
“Recent examples of the coordination is the Downtown logo painted on the downtown water tank and the N. Main Street project. Regarding the N. Main project, Raleigh will be replacing water meters along the corridor.
“While they are doing this project, they have agreed to allow their contractor to replace some aging stormwater while the street is under construction, and we will reimburse them for that part of the work. (Padgett also said Raleigh “is working through contractors to get the {N. Main} project underway.”)
“Additionally, all merger communities meet quarterly with Raleigh where we receive updates on their capital improvement plans and long-term funding plans.”

There was an agreement that developments would be allowed far,rar, far away from this designated president water source. Yet ,here we are . Houses hugging the shores.
