CFPUA warns of water-related scam

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — CFPUA is warning about a possible scam in the King’s Grant area after receiving reports of people going door to door claiming to be employees of the water utility.

CFPUA says their employees wear a badge and they would not enter a home without scheduling it in advance.

The people posing as CFPUA are reportedly telling homeowners not to drink the water and that they will come back to draw samples.

CFPUA says you can call customer service to verify if someone in your area is an employee.
