LIFT OF PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE

The City is lifting the precautionary boil water notice, effective immediately. (6:30 AM, 1/18/26)

On Saturday (1/17/26) afternoon at approximately 3:30 PM, Public Works was notified of a water line issue. Crews exposed the line by 6:00 PM and worked under system pressure in an effort to complete repairs without interruption.


At approximately midnight, the decision was made to temporarily isolate the system by closing tank valves to safely reduce pressure to complete the repair. The damaged line was successfully repaired at approximately 12:45 AM, and tank valves were reopened between 12:45–1:00 AM.

System pressure never dropped below 59 psi at any point during the incident.

The boil water notice was issued purely as a precautionary public health measure and was maintained while normal lab testing was completed and all results were clear.

Water service has been fully restored and the system is operating normally.


City Manager Statement:
“We took a precautionary approach out of an abundance of caution, and normal lab testing confirmed the system remained safe throughout the repair. Public health and safety will always guide our decisions.”


The City appreciates the community’s patience and the swift response of our Public Works team.

On Time Trash Pick Up

To ensure smooth and reliable trash pickup, please review the following very important information:

Service:

For all service-related issues, questions, or concerns, please contact the City of Hamlet Public Works (910)582-7987. They are your primary point of contact for scheduling, billing inquiries, missed pickups, and any other service matters.

Issue Resolution Process:

When questions or concerns arise regarding your trash service, we maintain an extensive review system. All our trucks are equipped with cameras, and we will always review the footage to investigate and resolve any concerns or discrepancies. This ensures accurate and fair resolution of service issues.

Pickup Day Requirements:

Important - Trash cans must be rolled out to your designated pickup spot the NIGHT BEFORE your scheduled pickup day. This is crucial to ensure your trash gets collected on schedule. Cans placed out on the morning of pickup may be missed occasionally due to circumstances.


We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines. Together, we can maintain an efficient and reliable waste collection service for your community.
