BC NEWS LIST

Will the Water War Impact You?

If you've been reading the news, you know that the City and County are still at odds over the water issue. Who owns the water? Should residents outside the City limits have to pay more for water? Will all this impact me?

See Trash? Pick It Up!

Unfortunately we see it every day. A cup here. A piece of paper there. Trash is everywhere on our roadways throughout the county. No one likes to see it but what can we do about it?

CSI--Buncombe County

If you are a fan of any of the CSI shows, you'll be interested to know that Buncombe has it's own CSI. These folks collect evidence at the crime scene that can be a major factor in the outcome of a trial.

Got Pine Trees?

It's not too late! The Buncombe County Soil & Water Conservation District has scheduled more chances to buy white pine seedlings!

There is a new "rear-facing" child safety seat rule?

The American Academy of Pediatrics has officially  recommended that parents get a rear-facing seat with the highest weight limit they can find and keep their children rear-facing until they reach the weight limit for the seat. The old "20 lbs, 1 year" rule is now the MINIMUM rule for making children front-facing riders.
