Abstract:
Water providers and customers in North Carolina learned invaluable lessons from the record drought that reached its peak in the summer of 2002. Mandatory conservation measures were widespread and many people became good at rationing water. In spite of conservation efforts, municipal water providers in Orange County and other communities have increased their rates.
