Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Currituck County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Mainland Water Plant expansion delivery method
The board approved an easement tied to the Barco Boost Station, requested by staff.
Stormwater
Stormwater review has improved since the county began using outside engineering firms. Commissioners discussed pond sizing and soil suitability but made no changes to the process.
Moyock wastewater treatment plant expansion
The county committed $5.8 million to Early Works Package 2, with some new treatment basin capacity expected by December 2026 and full design by 2027. Commissioners will still have to decide how to allocate sewer capacity when new connections open up.
Dominion Energy Rate Hike
The county formally opposed Dominion's request to raise electric rates, which would add about $17 a month to the average bill. The resolution is symbolic — state regulators decide — but it puts Currituck on record against the hike.
