North Carolina’s Drought Calls for Water Wisdom | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina’s worst drought in 18 years is hitting hard, with towns like Winston-Salem, Burlington, and Wilkesboro urging residents to conserve water—shorter showers, no running taps while brushing, only full loads in dishwashers and washers, and skipping lawn watering or car washing.

Every drop saved matters—be mindful, because your habits help the whole community survive this dry spell. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
