Cary Water Crisis and the Future of Supply | Durham News

From Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! The Daily News Now!

A major water main break in Cary left 50,000+ residents without water—prompting school closures and highlighting a growing crisis: aging infrastructure can’t keep up with the Triangle’s rapid expansion. While water was restored by Tuesday, officials warn that without proactive planning, cities like Cary and Raleigh risk running out of supply by 2049. Solutions include conservation, leak reduction, water recycling, and expanding sources like Jordan Lake or even the Neuse River—balancing immediate fixes with long-term resilience.
