Wrightsville’s drinking water back in compliance

Must read

Wrightsville Beach’s water system is back in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the town’s assistant public works director Steve Dellies said April 14.

A sample of the town’s water taken March 31 showed levels of the disinfection byproduct trihalomethane at 38 parts per million, putting the quarterly average at 57 parts per million, well below the 80 parts per million allowed by the EPA.

The town had previously received violations for the third and fourth quarters of 2014, but new methods of flushing water through pipes proved effective in lowering the contaminant levels.
