📰 News we're reading
• Update for City of Hickory water customers (taylorsvilletimes.com) — Claremont residents who get water from the City of Hickory are under continued Stage 2 drought restrictions, including a two‑days‑per‑week irrigation limit and a ban on filling home pools. Recent rain hasn’t eased regional drought enough, so violations can bring steep fines and even loss of irrigation service. Check the updated rules carefully before watering lawns or washing vehicles.
