Community Events

Sept. 18, 2025: Our Customer Service department recently held a school supplies drive! The PWC team members delivered backpacks, notebooks, and other essentials to Ferguson-Easley Elementary School, helping students start the year strong. Thank you for making a difference!

Sept. 17, 2025: PWC’s Water Engineering team hosted a meeting for local developers to walk through the design plan submittal process to clarify expectations and technical requirements. Attendees learned about best practices to streamline the process, participated in Q&A with engineering experts, and learned how PWC’s staff is committed to ensuring the needs of all involved are met. This collaborative approach strengthens these relationships and improves project outcomes, which ultimately benefits the community we all serve.

Sept. 16, 2025: PWC’s Loss Prevention program is more than just protecting electric and water utility infrastructure – it’s about safeguarding our customers’ wallets! Our Loss Prevention Specialists recently shared information about this important initiative with members of PWC’s Community Advisory Group. Over the last year, these specialists have investigated 285 incidents of suspected tampering, ranging from stolen meters to unauthorized pipe setups. During that same time, they also investigated 565 cases of inactive consumption, which means someone other than a PWC employee unlawfully turned on a meter. These efforts by our Loss Prevention Specialists help prevent unauthorized usage and recover lost revenue—money that would otherwise impact customer rates and service costs.

Now thru Nov. 11: PWC is proud to support the Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation (ASOM) and Cool Spring Downtown District’s Field of Honor. Join us in honoring our nation’s heroes and celebrating the spirit of unity in our community.

Hoffer Water Treatment Facility: Jessica Felch (Office of NC Representative Richard Hudson), Blake Belch (Office of NC Senator Ted Budd), Katie Smith (Office of NC Representative David Rouzer), and Grayson Overholt (Office of NC Senator Thom Tillis). Their time and interest in learning more about PWC’s operations underscore the importance of collaboration as we work to ensure safe, reliable drinking water for our community. We value their commitment to understanding the essential services that protect public health and support the future growth of our region.

July 23, 2025: Join us in celebrating our summer ICON student Amaya McCray, who interned with the Community Relations Department. Amaya brought energy, creativity, and a fresh perspective to our team, and we are so proud of her growth and contributions throughout the program. She was one of 11 outstanding ICON students who worked in various departments at PWC this summer. Their journey culminated at the ICON Showcase hosted by FTCC – a fantastic event highlighting the talents and hard work of these future leaders. 

July 18, 2025: PWC joined over 30 local employers at the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Career & Resource Expo.  Our Human Resources department used this opportunity to engage with potential candidates for current job opportunities ranging from electric systems support, water plant maintenance, and engineering, to accounting, supply chain, and customer service.  By attending events like this, our HR team gets direct access to qualified candidates while also enhancing PWC’s presence in the community we serve. 

July 17, 2025: As long-time supporters of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber, Fayetteville PWC appreciated the opportunity to take part in the State of the Community discussion at the Chamber’s monthly Coffee Club meeting.  Chief Communications & Community Relations Officer Tyler Patton, spoke about PWC providing critical, award-winning utility services and supporting economic development in the Fayetteville/Cumberland County area for the last 120 years.  This event serves as a powerful tool for our community leaders to shape the perception of our present and inspire direction for our future.
