The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) says there have been 79 verified storm-related deaths in the state from Helene.
Asheville City Government shared an update on repair efforts after Helene wreaked havoc on the city's water system over a week ago.
In a social media post on Sunday, Oct. 6, city officials described challenges crews faced as they tried to rebuild a 36-inch bypass line at North Fork that Helene destroyed.
"Complications from debris clogging what remains of the bypass line and then rainfall in the watershed after Helene arose on Friday and Saturday," the statement said, in part. "While progress slowed, work continued. On Sunday morning, contractors were able to install new sections of the bypass line."
