Committed to Providing Clean, Safe Drinking Water
Fayetteville PWC is a member of the Partnership for Safe Water and continues to treat water to a higher standard than current EPA requirements. In fact, PWC has been honored for maintaining the standards of the program’s Director’s Award for 24 years. And last year we received the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies Gold Award for Exceptional Utility Performance.
What does this mean to you? PWC goes above and beyond by voluntarily participating in this program to ensure our customers receive the cleanest and safest drinking water.
Where does our water come from? The water PWC treats for your use is surface water from the Cape Fear River. Water is processed at PWC’s P.O. Hoffer Water Treatment Facility and Glenville Lake Water Treatment Facility.
How is it treated? PWC treats source water using the chloramination method, which uses both ammonia and chlorine. Chloraminated drinking water is safe for drinking, cooking, bathing and other daily uses. If water treated with this method is used for medical dialysis or aquatic pets, it requires pre-treatment to remove the ammonia.
