Project Communications

• March 23, 2026: Preliminary Assessment Resolution and Public Hearing at City Council
• Mar. 6, 2025: Residential Letter Mailed Announcing Preliminary Assessment Resolution and Public Hearing
  • PDF of the Letter
  • Text of the Letter:
    The Fayetteville City Council has adopted the Preliminary Assessment Resolution for extending utility services to Area 29 Section I in the Phase 5 Annexation project. A copy of the Preliminary Assessment Resolution is attached. Please note an assessment may be applicable to your property if utility services are extended where they are not currently available.
    
    A Public Hearing on the Preliminary Assessment Resolution will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 23, 2026, in Council Chambers of City Hall, located at 433 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. Individuals who desire to speak at the Public Hearing must register with the City Clerk by name and home address before 5:00 p.m. on or before March 23, 2026, by contacting the City Clerk at one of the following options:
    Phone: (910) 433-1989
    Email: CityClerk@FayettevilleNC.gov
    Website: www.FayettevilleNC.Gov/City-Council/City-Clerks-Office, click “Request to Speak at a Public Forum/Hearing.”
    
    PWC would like to emphasize assessments will not be billed until the utility service is installed and another Public Hearing has been held for public comment. Most properties impacted by this project are typical single-family residential lots that will be assessed $5,000, which is an amount considerably less than the actual cost of extending the utility service. For commercial and other non-single-family properties, the assessment will be based on road frontage at $55.56 per front foot with a 90-foot minimum plus the average lateral charge for the area which, again, is less than the actual cost of installation. Pre-payment options are available for assessments and financial assistance will also be available for those who qualify.
    
    PWC sincerely appreciates your cooperation and patience throughout this project and looks forward to serving your utility needs. Information about your project, as well as information about the assessment process, is available on our website.
