Five communities in Pitt County have excess water and wastewater (sewer) treatment capacity. Most systems are capable of treating industrial wastewater. Natural gas is available in sufficient quantities for process use in Ayden, Farmville, Winterville and Greenville; service could also be provided in the Grifton area for large users where use would justify the costs of extending nearby distribution or transmission lines.
Electric service is distributed by Progress Energy Carolinas, Dominion Power, Edgecombe-Martin EMC, Pitt & Greene EMC, or the Greenville Utilities Commission, all of which operate highly efficient and reliable systems.
