HAMLET — Council members on Tuesday reviewed the city’s water and sewer rates since last summer’s rate increase.

ROCKINGHAM-  “What do we have to do to get water for area residents?”  

That was the question posed to the Richmond County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night by Preston Waddell, chairman of Wolf Pit precinct No. 4. He said he was speaking on behalf of citizens of that area.  

HAMLET — Several contributing factors will give city residents a little extra time to get their water bills paid.

RICHMOND COUNTY - Richmond County leaks like a sieve. It continuously leaks fresh spring water into hundreds of springs, branches, ponds, lakes and creeks from one end of the county to the other like the veins in a leaf.

I work in a rural area in Richmond County, which is on the border of Hitchcock Creek. We often see strange sights and various critters in this area. Where I work, our trucks are constantly coming and going, so we have large scales for them to pull onto to weigh in and out.
