Water Relief Update
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to provide much-needed bottled water during the recent water shortage. With the City of Mebane easing restrictions and a strong supply of bottled water now available, we are no longer accepting donations at this time.
We are so grateful to everyone who contributed—you made a difference when it mattered most. Thank you for showing up for our community.
Resources
If you're a Mebane resident affected by the water shortage, the Alamance County YMCA is offering free use of their shower facilities during the times listed below.
Please bring a photo ID, your towel, and be prepared to complete a quick waiver at the front desk.

Water Pickup/Drop off Locations
Mebane is currently under Stage V mandatory water rationing after flooding from Tropical Storm Chantal shut down the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment Plant. We have less than two days' worth of drinking water remaining.
We’re calling on the community to support our neighbors by donating bottled water.
