In Today's episode of Clayon4U, we’re mapping out the ins and outs of zoning —the system that determines how land in a community can be used. Zoning divides a town into different zones, each with specific rules about what types of buildings and activities are allowed. From homes to businesses to industry, zoning helps to organize land use in a way that promotes orderly growth, protects property values, and ensures public safety and welfare. Curious about how a property is zoned? Check out the Town’s Official Zoning Map and Unified Development Ordinances (UDO) on our website: https://lnkd.in/eGCBc7dj

We are wrapping up our Black History Month education by highlighting our hometown Olympian, Keni Harrison. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Harrison received a silver medal in the 100-meter hurdles. She also set the world record for women's 100-meter hurdles at the 2016 London Muller Anniversary Games with a time of 12.20 seconds. Before Harrison's international success, she was a Clayton Comet. During her time at Clayton High School, she ran track and field. Upon her return home, the Town partnered with Harrison’s alma mater to host a parade in her honor through Downtown Clayton. During this event, dozens of fans lined Main Street to show their support. The event concluded with a celebration at Clayton High where Town Council proclaimed August 24, 2021, to be Keni Harrison Day and Mayor Jody McLeod presented her with a key to the Town. “I didn’t get the start I wanted but I dug deep and fought and didn’t give up.” - Keni Harrison To learn more about Harrison’s journey and to watch the 2021 parade, visit our YouTube channel at the link below. https://lnkd.in/e8QMP-eD #BHMClaytonNC

Annual Treatment Change to Johnston County West Water System: Beginning March 1, the Johnston County Water Treatment Plant will temporarily stop feeding ammonia with chlorine for disinfection and start feeding chlorine only for all Johnston County water customers on the Johnston West water distribution system, which will affect all Town of Clayton water customers. The Town of Clayton purchases water from Johnston County Public Utilities, which is why our customers are affected by this process change. If you have any concerns or need additional information, please contact the Town of Clayton Water Resources Department at 919-553-1530. State and federal regulations require that all public water systems feed chlorine only for at least three weeks each year to ensure that no bacteria are present which may have adapted to the ammonia in the water. Customers that use kidney dialysis machines should be aware that the water will contain more chlorine for about six weeks and will return to a chlorine and ammonia mixture on or about April 14, 2025. The chlorine only water can be toxic to tropical fish. Most customers will not notice a difference in their water, but some may detect a chlorine odor and might observe a slight color change. The Town of Clayton Water Resources Department, in conjunction with the County, will conduct system wide flushing for all water distribution systems during this period to speed the removal of chloramines from the system. The flushing process may result in some minor and temporary discoloration of water that does not affect water quality. If any related issues cannot be cleared by flushing the lines inside your home, please call 919-553-1530. This map displays Town of Clayton water customers in blue and Riverwood Athletic Club customers in pink. These customers will be affected.
