Craven County and New Bern report minimal environmental harm after heavy rain. Craven discharged 1.9 million gallons of treated wastewater into Brices Creek from a Township 7 plant to prevent dike overflow. Since Feb 5 Craven logged 4.05 inches of rain at Cherry Point.

Plan to sell Southeastern Power Administration faces steady opposition
Utilities and cooperatives in North Carolina fear higher electric rates if Clinton administration budget plans to sell the Southeastern Power Administration move forward. The agency markets hydropower from 23 dams in the Southeast and serves about 2.6 million customers through 56 municipal utilities and 25 rural electric cooperatives. The idea, first pushed by Reagan in 1986, faced legal hurdles but gains new momentum with a Democratic president and Republican Congress.
