Board of Commissioners hears from financial consultants on water rate hike
Water rates may increase for customers in Brunswick County By Kassie Simmons | March 1, 2021 at 6:22 PM EST - Updated March 1 at 8:03 PM
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - Some neighbors may need to plan on an increase to their monthly bills as their water rate could increase.
The past year has proven difficult for some families and businesses to pay bills â and it could be an even bigger problem starting next year in Brunswick County.
âThis would definitely be an across the board rate change for our water customers, our wholesale customers and industry customers so that we can pay for the countyâs ongoing improvements,â said Chairman Randy Thompson.

Brunswick County commissioners approve preliminary debris cleanup plan
Brunswick commissioners approve tornado debris removal By Russell Clark | February 23, 2021 at 10:53 PM EST - Updated February 23 at 11:28 PM
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - Brunswick County commissioners approved a preliminary plan Tuesday to help with the cleanup efforts after the deadly tornado devastated the county last Monday.
Commission chairman Randy Thompson says the county will launch a curbside pickup program. He says the county crews will pick up construction and demolition debris that homeowners can physically bring to the curb.
Thompson believes the state department of transportation will clean up vegetation debris like downed trees. For homeowners who are facing extensive rebuilding, he says it could be a longer process.

Merrick Garland, President Biden s nominee for U.S. attorney general, speaks in Wilmington, Del., on Jan. 7. Susan Walsh/AP
Most people know Judge Merrick Garland for what didn t happen to him. Five years ago, the Senate never acted on his nomination to the Supreme Court.
This week, that will change, as a new chapter begins in Garland s lifelong commitment to public service. Garland, 68, will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday as President Biden s pick to serve as attorney general. This time, few obstacles stand in his path to confirmation. But the institution he s likely to join operates largely in a state of shock.
