About TriRiver Water
As of July 1, 2024, TriRiver Water is the water and wastewater provider for the City of Sanford and the Town of Pittsboro.
The City of Sanford announced on March 27, 2024, it would provide utility services under the new name, which aligns with the expanded scope of the City’s water and wastewater services. With Sanford’s new role of utility provider for Pittsboro, the name TriRiver Water better reflects Sanford’s growth from a local utility to a regional one.
Along with water and wastewater treatment and distribution, TriRiver Water will handle all engineering services related to water and wastewater projects for the City of Sanford and the Town of Pittsboro.
While TriRiver Water is different than what customers are used to, the level of service provided to customers will remain the same.
The frequently asked questions below offer more information about change and what it means for our residents.
Since we are merging with Town of Pittsboro Water Utility, we needed a name that represents both Town of Pittsboro and City of Sanford customers.
The new name symbolizes the connection to the three rivers that sustain our region and reflects our continued commitment to innovation, sustainability, and our community. It also embodies our dedication to improving quality of life by providing exceptional service to our customers as the region grows.
You can count on the same exceptional service you are accustomed to now. The only changes you’ll need to make on your end are who you make your payments to and where you send those payments.
The name change takes effect July 1, 2024. Please keep an eye on your mail with instructions on when and how to make these changes.
