Harnett Regional Water asks board to approve write-offs and a property purchase

Harnett Regional Water presented two requests to the Harnett County Board of Commissioners on June 16: approval of customer account write-offs as of December 2024, and approval to purchase real property from Zachary and Bridal Engel with a related budget amendment using Harnett Regional Water cash reserves to complete the acquisition before June 30, 2025.

The meeting summary lists the write-offs and the purchase request among departmental items presented to the board. The water authority's request to use cash reserves to finalize the land acquisition was included as part of the packet; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount for the write-offs nor whether the land purchase motion was approved during the meeting.

The purchase was described as a standard property acquisition to support utility operations; the land sellers are listed in the packet as Zachary and Bridal Engel, and the requested funding source was Harnett Regional Water cash reserves. The transcript does not include a deed description beyond seller names or a parcel number.

If approved later or at a subsequent meeting, the purchase would be completed by executing a purchase agreement and recording the related budget amendment. The board's action on the write-offs and the property purchase is not explicitly recorded in the provided meeting summary.
