This plant utilizes the Cape Fear River as the source for the system’s drinking water and was recognized in 2010 for maintaining the “Directors Award of Recognition’ from the Partnership of Safe Water, a national volunteer initiative developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other water organizations representing water suppliers striving to provide their communities with drinking water quality that surpasses the required federal standards.
The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant is one of 165 water plants throughout the United States to receive this distinction and one of three in North Carolina. Harnett County’s water system consists of nine different rural water and sewer districts. These districts have a total of over 1800 miles of water mains and currently have over 35,000 active connections within their boundaries.
