Water response in a community that stayed unincorporated
Rougemont sits along U.S. Route 501 straddling the Durham and Person county line, and came within 10 votes of incorporating in a 2011 referendum. The 1917 depot that once anchored the community, part of which stood until a 2010 relocation, is a marker of just how old some of the plumbing on nearby properties can be.
Rural lines without municipal backup
Without a municipal stormwater or sewer system, a property in Rougemont is relying entirely on its own drainage and supply lines to handle a storm on the scale of Hurricane Fran, which dropped more than 8 inches of regional rainfall in 1996. Older, rural plumbing is the first thing to check after a heavy-rain event here.
