Congratulations David Perry!

For more than three decades, Water Operations Superintendent David Perry helped keep the water flowing in Nags Head while witnessing firsthand our community's growth and evolution.

David joined the Town's Water Operations Division on May 1, 1995, and retired this June after 31 years! During that time, he saw Nags Head change in countless ways, from the operation of Fresh Pond, the area's original fresh water source that later served as a back up during periods of high demand, to the growth of the town itself. Over the years, David helped ensure that we had access to safe, reliable drinking water. It's a responsibility many people never have to think about, but one that is fundamental to daily life.

Known for his mechanical expertise and problem-solving abilities, David earned multiple advanced water treatment and distribution certifications, managed the Town's state-certified laboratory, and trained eight water plant operators during his career.

Congratulations on your retirement, David! It's well-earned, to say the least. May your future be filled with travel and adventure!

David was honored at Nags Head's Board of Commissioners meeting on September 2. He is pictured with, from left, Commissioners Bob Sanders and Megan Vaughan, Mayor Ben Cahoon, Commissioner Molly Harrison, and Mayor Pro Tem Megan Lambert.

🌊 Making Waves: Sanitation Division

What does it take to keep Nags Head clean, cared for and moving forward?

A lot of work happens before most of us are even out of bed.

Depending on the time of year, the Sanitation Division starts its day as early as 3 a.m. The team works year-round through hot summer days, changing seasons, heavy rain, flooding and even the occasional winter storm to provide services our community relies on every day.

From residential trash and recycling collection to cart rollout services, bulk item and brush disposal, there’s more to sanitation than meets the eye.

Their work may happen behind the scenes, but its impact is felt throughout our community every day.

This Making Waves Department Spotlight takes a closer look at the people and work that keep Nags Head moving.

Thank you to our Sanitation Division for the dedication you bring to Nags Head every day. 🌊

If you weren't in the area for Hurricane Irene in 2011, look through these comments so you know why we tell everyone to be prepared this time of year.

Do you remember where you were 15 years ago today? On this day in 2011, Hurricane Irene made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Cape Lookout, North Carolina. Irene was responsible for seven deaths in North Carolina and roughly $1.2B in damage, equivalent to $1.7B today. At it's peak, over 660,000 North Carolina residents were without power as the powerful storm moved through.

Hurricane-force winds were recorded along the North Carolina coast and areas inland as the storm made landfall. Along with the winds came significant storm surge with some locations recording values over 10 feet. Several tornadoes were also observed hours before the storm made landfall, causing localized damage to areas in northeastern NC.
