FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                               January 23, 2001

Planned work at the Cary-Apex Water Treatment Plant may result in some customers having cloudy water for a few days beginning January 29th, but the water will remain safe to drink. The cloudiness results when particles in the water system’s lines are stirred. Customers are encouraged to check their water before washing white clothes. If the water appears discolored, try flushing all house faucets for a few minutes. Customers who have questions or who have water that fails to clear should call the Town of Cary Public Works & Utilities Department at 469-4090. The Cary/Apex plant provides treated water to Cary, Apex, Morrisville, the Raleigh-Durham Airport, and the Wake County portion of Research Triangle Park.
