A Concerned Citizen of Winston Salem wanted to know why Water Meters are being replaced. According to Gale Ketteler, the spokeswoman for Winston-Salem Forsyth County Utilities, the Old Meters ARE Safe and there aren’t Any Health or Water Quality Issues with them. The meters are simply being replaced with New “Smart” meters as part an upgrade program called “WaterSavvy” that began in the Fall of 2020. Thousands of New Meters have already been installed, and over the next few years all 130,000 residential and commercial meters will be replaced. Those New “Smart” meters will securely transmit usage information and alerts in real time, which will help monitor flow, quickly detect leaks and reduce visits to your home or business — all while keeping your data safe.

A School in Davie County is having a remote learning day TODAY due to Air Conditioning Issues and Record-high Temperatures in the Triad. Davie County High School students will receive information from their teachers about assignments and schedules for the day, according to school officials. Officials have successfully identified the issue with the air conditioning unit at the High School, however, the necessary repairs will not be completed in time to ensure the school building is adequately cooled down for a safe and comfortable day of in-person learning, so hence the Remote Learning Day Today.
