Demand Safe and Transparent Water Supply in Kings Mountain
The Issue
TL;DR we the signatories are asking for:
- Provide modern, frequent, and timely communications on what is being used to treat our water, and a timeline for resolution
- Waive utility costs until quality is restored
- Offer stipend and reimbursement for at-home filtration solutions
- Offer stipend and reimbursement for costs spent to bottled water

The water in Kings Mountain, NC has become undrinkable. Every time I turn on the tap, I'm greeted with a terrible taste that makes it impossible to enjoy. This isn't just a minor inconvenience—clean, safe water is a basic human need, and it's essential for our health and well-being.
Unfortunately, I'm not alone in this struggle. Many residents in Kings Mountain have voiced similar complaints about the quality of our water supply. We deserve better, and it's time for the local government to take responsibility and ensure that our water is not only safe but also pleasant to drink.
Currently, there seems to be a lack of effective communication from our local authorities on this critical issue. They have said they are adding additional chemicals, but we do not know what those chemicals are or in what amounts they are being added. No timeline for resolution has been given. There is no way for citizens to stay up to date on our water quality.
We need transparency and proactive updates from those in charge about what is being done to fix these problems. It's crucial not only to address the existing water supply issues but also to keep the community informed every step of the way.
We are calling for immediate action to rectify the water quality issues. Until these matters are resolved, it is only fair that the residents of Kings Mountain receive access to free bottled water, or water filters, and no bill for using this utility.
The health and safety of our community cannot wait. Let's urge our local government to prioritize this issue and work swiftly towards a permanent solution while keeping us informed. Please sign this petition to demand safe, clean, and transparent handling of our water supply in Kings Mountain, NC.
