Water users in Hendersonville remained in a Stage 1 Water Shortage Advisory due to moderate drought and low flow in the Mills River. Voluntary water conservation was encouraged.

Rainfall allowed Hendersonville to move from stage 2 water restrictions back to stage 1 advisory, calling for voluntary conservation. The precipitation also allowed neighboring towns of Tryon, Clyde, Canton, Highlands, Woodfin and Franklin to lift any restrictions that they had.
