Public Notice
Hertford County, with assistance from the North Carolina Rural Water Association, is in the process of developing their Wellhead Protection Plan.  This is a voluntary program intended to assist in protecting the County’s water supply from contamination, and to identify vulnerable areas around their wells called "Wellhead Protection Areas."  Another goal of this program is to make residents and businesses aware that chemicals and other pollutants spilled or dumped in the vicinity of the "Wellhead Protection Areas" can be drawn into the wells, possibly contaminating the County’s drinking water supply.

 
A draft copy of the updated Wellhead Protection Plan is available for review and comment at Hertford County Offices.  The public is invited to review the plan, and submit any comments or suggestions to Hertford County.  All written comments will be reviewed by the Wellhead Protection Committee, and any suggestions or comments that may be beneficial will be incorporated into the plan.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Public Works Director, at 252-358-7820.

Hertford County Rural Water operates under rules and regulations from both State and Federal agencies. The rules are found in Title 15A, Sub-chapter 18C of the Administrative Codes.

This includes Wells and Distribution Systems. Hertford County Rural Water has a Well grade classification of C and a Distribution grade classification of B. The Well grade is based on number of wells, number of elevated tanks, type of water treatment, number of hook-ups and type of test kits used. The Distribution grade is based on Number of people served and number of hook-ups on system.

Hertford County Rural Water is made up of two water districts, Northern and Southern. The boundaries of the two districts are as follows, anywhere north of the POTECASI CREEK is the Northern district and anywhere south is the Southern District.

If you live in the Northern District your water bill is due by the 5th of the month and a late fee is added after the 5th. We start reading meters on the 5th of each month.
