Water Shortage Update

Attention Mebane Residents and Utility Customers

The Stage I Voluntary Conservation under the Water Shortage Response Plan is officially lifted. The Graham—Mebane Water Treatment Plant is operating at 100% to supply water to Mebane and has returned to full Duke Energy primary power.
The City is lifting all Water Shortage Response Restrictions. Residents and business owners can return to their normal water usage levels.
As a reminder, due to flooding from Tropical Storm Chantal, the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment Plant—located west of the City and operated by the City of Graham—was submerged under six feet of water and needed repairs.
The flooding caused by this natural disaster was not the result of population growth in the area or the ongoing work at the Lake Michael project.
As we return to normal conditions at the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment Plant, the possibility of discolored water within Mebane's water distribution system remains; however, the water is safe to consume.
The City of Mebane sincerely thanks all residents and business owners for your cooperation, patience, and support while staff worked to fully restore the Graham—Mebane Water Treatment Plant.
