American Red Cross Blood Drive – Give Blood!  Help Save Lives!

To streamline your donation experience and save you about 15 minutes visit RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to read the pre-donation material and complete your health history questions. The questionnaire can only be completed on the day of your donation appointment.

Did you know that 25% of all donated blood is used to assist with the treatment of individuals who are undergoing cancer care?  The chemicals used in the chemotherapy process wreak havoc on an individual’s blood levels and to help keep them stable, blood products are regularly transfused.  This allows people to continue treatments that would otherwise have to be postponed or stopped completely.  Donating blood is truly giving the gift of life.

 Currituck County has been a leader in the blood drives and our employees continue to rise to the need.

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Currituck County will perform a scheduled water main tie-in at the end of Launch Landing Road.

• Water Drive

Water will be turned off starting at 9:30 a.m. and is expected to remain off for approximately 4 to 6 hours.

How to Prepare

• Store bottled water for drinking and cooking.
• Fill bathtubs or large containers with water for flushing toilets and other household needs.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we complete this important infrastructure project.

Boil Water Advisory – Launch Landing Area

Water consumers of Launch Landing  will experience an interruption in the distribution system due to water being turned off. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.

Areas affected include:

• Launch Landing Road
• Yarnes Street
• Bray View Drive
• Carlos Circle
• Water Drive

Once water service is restored, all residents are advised to boil water before use for:

• Drinking
• Cooking
• Brushing teeth
• Making ice
• Washing hands

Please bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute before using it for consumption, or use bottled water. Boiling helps eliminate potential disease-causing organisms that may be present.

The Currituck County Mainland Water Office also encourages residents to conserve water whenever possible during this time.

This Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until 6:00 p.m. on Friday, October 10, 2025.

The Historic Preservation Commission helps property owners apply for local landmark designation and maintains a list of county properties with historical significance.
