New EV Chargers Installed
We are getting closer to the end of the new EV charging stations being ready for use! They have been installed and the transformer work will begin shortly A contractor has been out repainting the parking spaces for it.
The EV chargers use Tap for payment and will charge a car faster! These machines will be able to charge two cars at once, per machine, compared to the old ones that could only do one car at a time
These machines were no cost to the City and we appreciate Duke Energy for proposing the upgrade!

Illegal Dumping
Let's keep our waterways clean! If you see any intentional dumping, please let us know! Not only is dumping unsightly, but illegal and can contaminate waterways.
Pick up after yourself if you are visiting our parks or any nature areas like the Econ River
When waste is left behind, the wildlife can get into it. Bags with food can harm wildlife since processed food is not their natural diet. This, in turn, can lead to animal droppings that can contaminate the water.
Be responsible and leave no footprints, meaning leave no signs that you were ever there!
There are trash bins provided at all of our parks for you to throw away your trash.
If you do see waste left behind, like in the photos below, please use the City’s FIX IT FORM to report what you find and the location where you found it You can upload photos from your phone
