Regarding your public records request regarding public utility information:
Your letter claimed this was a follow-up to an email sent on May 16, 2019. We have no records of any requests like yours on that date. I’m wondering if your request was sent to the wrong address? We have an online form: https://www.raleighnc.gov/services/content/PubAffairs/Articles/PublicRecordsReq.html. Please feel free to use that form to make any future submissions.
Regarding this request, there is nothing in it that applies to the City of Raleigh at all. We own and manage our own water and sewer system. So there are no agreements or contracts with anyone else.
Your request references four different companies…those are not companies the City of Raleigh conducts business with. There are some residential areas that do, but that is not something we have anything to do with.
Please let us know should you need additional information.
