NC DoT contractors have scheduled a water outage for this Friday, January 27th from 9 am until 4 pm. Affected customers are in the area along NC Hwy 22 and part of McCaskill Rd., north of Nick's Creek. Once water service has been restored, crews will flush the lines to remove cloudiness or air in the water mains due to the shutdown. Customers are advised to flush their systems as well, but if cloudiness or air persists, please contact Southern Pines Utilities at 910-692-1983.
