During warm weather, lawns and gardens thirst for water. And PWC reminds their customers to follow the year-long Odd-Even schedule for outdoor watering with unattended sprinklers or automatic systems. It's a simple step that conserves our precious water supply and helps us be better prepared for drought conditions. And remember: • Only water when you need to, not just because it's 'your day.' (To see if you lawn needs watering, step on it; if the grass doesn't spring back, it needs water.) • Early morning is the most efficient time. Don't water in the heat of the day or when it's windy. • Adjust your sprinklers so you're not wasting water on streets or driveways. • Turn off your sprinklers when it rains. Rain Sensors Make Sense Rain sensors prevent unnecessary watering by temporarily overriding your sprinkler controls when they detect a certain amount of rainfall. Right now (between April 1 and September 30, 2021), PWC water customers can earn a bill credit up to $50 if you purchase and install a WaterSense® Rain Sensor on your automatic sprinkler system.

With the Rangers is where Bibby first made a name for himself as a big leaguer. On July 30, 1973, Bibby threw a 13-strikeout no-hitter against the defending World Champion Oakland A's—the first no-hit game in Rangers' history. For the next three seasons, Bibby was the best pitcher on some bad Texas teams, leading the club in wins in '73 and '74. Midway through the 1975 season, Texas traded him to Cleveland as part of a multi- player deal for Gaylord Perry. Again, Bibby, who went 13-7 with a 3.20 ERA in 1976, was an excellent pitcher on a bad team. Bibby's luck changed when he signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1978. Bibby was a key component in the Pirates' 1979 "We are a Family" World Championship team, posting a 2.08 combined ERA over 17 2/3 innings against the Cincinnati Reds in the National League Championship Series and World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. In 1980, Bibby won 19 games for Pittsburgh and earned a bid to the All-Star Game. Bibby retired from baseball in 1984 with an impressive 111-101 career record and a 3.76 ERA. Pitcher: Cal Koonce, Chicago Cubs (1962-1967), New York Mets (1967-1970), Boston Red Sox (1970-1971) Born in Fayetteville and raised in Hope Mills, the right-handed Koonce was a relief pitcher extraordinaire during the 1960s. e long and lean hurler was both durable and reliable for the Cubs and Mets, making at least 35 appearances on seven occasions. Koonce enjoyed his best season in 1968, posting a 2.42 ERA with 11 saves in 55 appearances for the Mets. He earned a World Series ring as a member of the '69 Amazing Mets but the wear-and-tear on his arm began to show that season. Koonce retired aer making just 13 appearances for the 1971 Red Sox. Aer his retirement, Koonce spent seven seasons as the baseball coach at his alma mater, Campbell University (1980-1986). He died in 1993 at the age of 52.
