Simple Steps to Big Savings SAVE THE DATE! 2 nd Annual (P)ower & (W)ater (C)onservation Expo 4 th Friday, April 22 10am-9pm Skyview on Hay Planting a tree for NC Arbor Day? Plan Before You Plant! FREE giveaways include LEDs, Tree Seedlings, and Fat Trappers. Visit with PWC Linemen, Customer Programs Audit & Incentive Specialists, Customer Service Reps, & Water Quality Specialists. Get important project updates. Plus Willy Water Drop & Wally Watt Watcher will have a special Kids Corner. Friday, March 18, 2016 is designated as NC Arbor Day. Please keep the fol- lowing tips in mind if you're planning to plant a tree: • When planting under or within 25 feet of power lines, only plant shrubs or trees that won't grow more than 20 feet high. • Before you plant a tree, shrubs, or garden plants, make sure you know where your underground lines are. Just call NC 811 or visit www.nc811.org. They will locate and mark utility line locations. It's smart, safe and best of all… free! • Do not plant near utility underground transform- ers — those green boxes used when electric services are underground. Be sure to visit PWC at the Power and Water Con- servation Expo on April 22 to receive a free tree seedling (while supplies last). 2. Twist Apply pipe tape to be sure plumbing connections are sealed tight and give leaking faucets and shower heads a firm twist with a wrench. 3. Replace If you can't nip that drip, it may be time to replace the fixture. Look for WaterSense labeled models, which use at least 20% less water. For more information and tips about how to save water, visit Fayetteville PWC online or check out the EPA's WaterSense website at www.epa.gov/watersense. What's New: Annual Water Changeover Fayetteville PWC has temporarily stopped adding ammonia to its water treatment disinfection process.
