Moderate drought has Pender County officials urging residents to conserve water. Pender County relies on the Cape Fear River, local water plants and wells, and Wallace in nearby Duplin County for their water.
With fire danger being high, residents were urged to monitor outdoor burning very carefully. Firefighting uses a lot of water that the community needs to conserve.
