10 acres for Boone water intake
Boone Mayor Loretta Clawson announced yesterday evening that the Town is purchasing ten acres along the New River for a raw-water intake.
The intake is located near the Watauga/Ashe county line and the purchase will cost the town $850,000. To cover the costs of the project, the town has applied for an 18 to 19 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Town officials say with the new intake and the existing intakes on Winkler’s Creek and the New River’s South Fork, Boone should be able to meet its twenty year needs.
