Rougemont Water System

In September 2016, the County began the operation of the Rougemont Water System.  For decades, the Rougemont community in Northern Durham County had home and business wells impacted by groundwater contamination from leaking underground storage tanks.  The County, with financial assistance from EPA, NCDEQ’s Underground Storage Tank program, and NCDEQ’s Department of Commerce, constructed a community water system to serve the properties in the areas impacted by the groundwater contamination.
