Water meter upgrades in Wrightsville Beach beginning later this month

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — A long-term project to upgrade water meters at homes and businesses in the Town of Wrightsville Beach is scheduled to begin later this month.

CFPUA and Wrightsville Beach are preparing to consolidate the Town’s water and sewer services into CFPUA’s system. The consolidation is scheduled to be in effect on September 30, 2025.

As part of this process, CFPUA is upgrading water meters at 2,700 customers’ properties with remote meter reading technology. This work is being done in anticipation of the consolidation and until September 30, Wrightsville Beach will continue to be customers’ water and sewer provider.

These meters are not being removed or replaced, and customers’ water service will not be interrupted during the upgrade process. This remote meter-reading technology is in use in all other parts of CFPUA’s service area and allows staff to read meters without having to enter customers’ private property.

This project is expected to take several months and be complete at the date of consolidation.
