PWC is joining with our community partners to remind all citizens the importance of completing the Census. The census helps shape many different aspects of our community including ensuring Cumberland County is eligible for all types of funding to help and improve our community. The deadline is September 30 and quickly approaching so please Make Cumberland Count!

Tonight (Friday, Sept 4) is the virtual launch of the 15^th Annual “Public Works” Art Exhibition – presented by PWC and the Arts Council of Fayetteville / Cumberland County. This community-wide art display runs through October 17. The 3D, 360 interactive gallery will include online voting for the “People’s Choice Award” from September 4-11 at midnight (EST). Tune into the virtual launch party streaming LIVE on the Arts Council and PWC Facebook and YouTube channels tonight at 7:00 pm.

PWC is offering our residential customers a free programmable thermostat (while supplies last). A programmable thermostat can help you start saving by controlling your heating and air conditioning through automated scheduling. Adjusting to an energy-savings temperature during the peak Time-of-Use billing hours can help lower your energy bill. Click below for the Thermostat Giveaway Application and full details.

September is National Preparedness Month, which reminds us that we should take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect where we live, work, and visit. Our friends at the American Red Cross provided some tips on being prepared in case of a hurricane or other severe weather. 

Flushing wipes (baby wipes, disposable wipes... even those labeled "flushable") can block your pipes and the entire sewer system! Blocking these sewer pipes can lead to costly sewage overflows into your home or community creeks. Watch our PWC 101 for more insight on keeping "Wipes Out of the Pipes."

In observance of Labor Day, PWC will be closed on Monday, September 7th. Normal business hours will resume on Tuesday, September 8th. To report outages, please call our 24-hour Emergency Hotline: 1-877-OUR-PWC1 (687-7921).
