Two CodeRed alerts were sent out in Weaverville this weekend.
The first came Saturday when the water plant lost power. Public Works Director Larry Sprinkle said the plant has water reserves that can supply customers with water for several days with no power, but the town issued an alert asking residents to conserve water.
The second came Monday when the town alerted residents there would be no trash pickup this week because of the snow and the holidays.
Weaverville Town Manager Mike Morgan said Saturday's CodeRed alert had a 48 percent connection rate, while Monday's alert had an 80 percent connection rate.
He had hoped for a higher percentage Monday because many in the area had the power restored by then.
