Tag: Tri-City Water Partnership

A tri-city water partnership two years in the making is now complete. The partnership involved three North Carolina cities – Albemarle, Concord and Kannapolis – that worked together to ensure their customers’ needs were met for years to come.

This is a story about three cities in North Carolina: Albemarle, Concord and Kannapolis. Albemarle, 40 miles east of Charlotte, had excess capacity in its water system and needed new customers to defray costs. Concord and Kannapolis, within shouting distance of Albemarle, needed a new source of supply but were stymied by the cost of enhancing their systems independently.
