Canton-Clyde-Waynesville emergency water interconnect

After years of boil-water advisories and storm damage, the three towns are building a seven-mile pipeline so they can send water to each other during emergencies. It's mostly state-funded, and construction could start soon once easements are secured.

Broadband expansion nearly complete in Haywood County

Federal and state programs have cut unserved locations from about 5,000 in 2020 to roughly 131. Most remaining builds finish by end of 2026; the hardest-to-reach spots wait on the Stop Gap program and satellite service through 2030. Residents should check the FCC map and challenge inaccurate listings.
