closeHILLSBOROUGH -- Town officials voted this week to adopt voluntary water restrictions.
Residents are asked to reduce their water use by 10 percent by taking shorter showers, flushing toilets less often and other measures.
The town will also provide water-saving shower heads, faucet aerators and toilet-water savers to residents next week at the Water-Sewer Billing and Collections office at 137 N. Churton St. For more information, call Julie Vance at 732-1270, ext. 72.
More Drought
The town still has about 220 days of water left, but adopted the measure in reaction to the ongoing drought and calls from Gov. Mike Easley to conserve.
