Special Town Council Meeting
Sat January 14th
There will be a special meeting of the Norwood Town Council on Saturday January 14 at 12 noon. The meeting will take place at Norwood Town Hall meeting room 116 South Main Street.
Curbside Leaf Pick up
Norwood’s maintenance crews pick up leaves each week. Please have them at the
curb side, but not beyond the curb into the street. The city of Norwood has storm
water responsibilities it must maintain.
Leaves put in the street, as well as grass clippings, are carried into the storm
drains when it rains. That isn’t good for the creeks and rivers we get our drinking
water from.
New Water Plant Operations
Norwood has contracted with Envirolink to operate the Norwood Water Plant. Envirolink replaces United Water which had operated the Norwood Water Plant for the past five years. Envirolink operates several other
municipal water plants including Yanceyville and Burnsville.
The telephone number at the plant is (704) 474-3618. Please call when you have questions.
The Norwood Waste Water facility is operated by Norwood and is managed by Bryan Bowles. The water distribution
system is operated by Norwood and is supervised by Baxter Jordan. His telephone number is (704)
