Water System Flushing Taking Place

The Town of Nags Head is conducting the annual maintenance flushing of its water system to remove sediment and other deposits that can build up over time.

If not removed, these materials may cause water quality deterioration, taste and odor problems, or discoloration of the water. Water may also stagnate in lesser used parts of the distribution system. This can result in degraded water quality.

Read the Water Flushing FAQs.

Some say we have a lot of wind here on the Outer Banks. We say, really, we haven't noticed. Just kidding.

We do often have high winds and are experiencing them today. Be sure to know what to do when a traffic light is not operating because it is likely you'll come across this at some point here on the blowy Outer Banks.

We have several construction projects taking place. To receive notifications when we post updates to our web site about the projects, such as the Old Nags Head Cove water main replacement, visit nagsheadnc.gov/notifyme. Scroll down to News Flash to choose which updates you would like.

Are you a daily coffee drinker? Give your used coffee grounds a second life by using them outdoors this Spring. Used coffee grounds can help enhance your soil and reduce landfill waste.

• Sprinkle coffee grounds into still water to discourage mosquitos from breeding.
• Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, mix them into your soil to maintain heat and moisture.
• Earthworms love moist soil. Add them to your garden to invite them in.
