Proceedings in a legal challenge involving the Fayetteville Public Works Commission, which is seeking to protect its primary water supply from growing communities upstream, will continue into next week.
Hearings began in Raleigh this past Monday and are expected to wrap up as early as Tuesday of next week, said Fred Morrison, spokesman for the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings.
"Friday's proceeding wrapped up around noon," he said.
The hearings began after the PWC filed a legal challenge in May 2015 seeking to reverse the state's Environmental Management Commission's unanimous approval modifying the interbasin transfer certificate. That would allow towns in Cary, Apex, Morrisville and a portion of Wake County to withdraw 9 million gallons of water each day from the Cape Fear River.

It's interesting to note that it isn't only the southwestern U.S. that has concerns about water supply issues. Water is becoming a valuable commodity across the country.
