are you taking the drought seriously? wral’s david crabtree wants to know
Published Oct 15, 2007Views: 2414
Gov. Mike Easley has called for further cutbacks in water consumption by every North Carolina resident to conserve limited water supplies that, he said, will likely continue to shrink in the coming months. He stopped short of declaring an emergency but said that could happen if people don’t begin to be serious about water conservation.
We want to hear from you. Have you cut back water usage? If so, how? If not, why?
Would you seriously consider shorter showers? Have you thought of buying a rain barrel? Shaving with a minimum of water? Brushing your teeth with a minimum of water?
Should well water, from the water table, be banned from irrigating lawns? How concerned are you that water could be rationed by spring?
David used many of your comments in a story he produced over the weekend. Thank you for your feedback.

Putting the brakes on growth would be a big help!
