Tropical Depression Fay is continuing to saturate the arid North Buncombe landscape. Rain showers began Monday afternoon and are scheduled to continue through Wednesday, bringing several inches of much-needed rain to the area. A flash flood watch is in effect for the area today.The rain is certainly a welcome sight to two area municipalities. The Woodfin Water District implemented mandatory water restrictions Aug. 18 after reporting its watershed on Blackberry Inn Road was more than 10 feet low. Weaverville Public Works Director Larry Sprinkle also reported to the Weaverville Town Council on Aug. 18 that the while mandatory water restrictions weren't currently necessary, the Ivy River was extremely low.
