A Message from the desk of Police Chief Oberlin

Somewhere nearby, there is a police officer on duty.

As our town begins to prepare for the holidays, Public Works, Garden Club, and volunteers are decorating Main Street, Holiday evergreen tree, wreaths & twinkle lights along Town Hall, and all the little touches that make Weaverville feel like home. While most of us are looking ahead to family traditions and festive moments, one of our newest officers is preparing for something different: his very first Christmas on duty. He’s not alone in that. Every officer, at some point, spends holidays in uniform.

Over the course of a career, we lose track of how many Christmas mornings we miss our children running to the tree, or how many birthdays, anniversaries, and family gatherings we celebrate early, late, or not at all. Some years, we find ourselves sharing a potluck Thanksgiving at the station. Other times, we simply watch the holidays pass from the front seat of a patrol car. Each Fourth of July or Halloween, every single one of our officers knows they’ll be out there ensuring the rest of the community can safely enjoy the fireworks or navigate the crowds.

I say this without complaint, though not without a touch of regret. It’s part of the calling we answered. We step away from our own families so that others can enjoy those moments with theirs.

I’m not sure how often people think about that sacrifice, and I don’t expect gratitude. But I do hope, every once in a while, our community remembers the men and women who quietly hold that line, especially when the rest of the world is celebrating.

May you and your family be blessed this season,

Chief Oberlin

Weaverville Fire Dept. Holiday Safety Tips

For most, the kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the holidays. From testing family recipes to decorating cakes and cookies, everyone enjoys being part of the preparations.

Keeping fire safety top of mind in the kitchen during this joyous but hectic time is important, especially when there’s a lot of activity and people at home. As you start preparing your holiday schedule and organizing that large family feast, remember to follow a few simple safety tips so you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safer from fire.

Holiday Fire Statistics

• Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires with more than three times the daily average for such incidents. Christmas Day and Christmas Eve ranked second and third, with both having nearly twice the daily average.

• Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths.

• Cooking causes half (52%) of all reported home fires and nearly two of every five (36%) home fire injuries, and it is a leading cause of home fire deaths (16%).

• On Thanksgiving day alone, an estimated 1,446 home cooking fires were reported to U.S fire departments in 2023, reflecting 388 percent of the daily average.

• Structure fires occurring on Thanksgiving Day – 80% are due to cooking. And those cooking fires account for 40% of the civilian injuries sustained in structure fires that occurred on Thanksgiving. These are annual estimates for the period 2019 – 2023 (no civilian deaths had occurred in cooking fires on Thanksgiving for these years)

Top Safety Tips

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food.

• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey, and check on it frequently.

• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay three feet away.

• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.

• Keep knives out of the reach of children.

• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.

• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet.

• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.

• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.

• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

Notice for Weaverville Utility Customers

Town Hall recently upgraded to a new accounting software system. Please be patient with our staff for the next few weeks as it may take some time to get fully comfortable navigating & using the new system.

With this upgrade will come an updated look to our monthly water bills starting on the January 31^st, 2026 water bill! We are currently working on finishing the layout and will provide more information on the updates/changes once we have those ironed out.  

Additionally, we will be transitioning our e-statements through our “MyGovHub” portal instead of the prior website of https://weaverville.estmt.net/ (SouthData). Please be sure if you have an account with SouthData for e-statements that you go into the “MyGovHub” portal at https://weaverville.mygovhub.com/#/ and set up an account there. You will need your 3 to 4-digit water account number and the first three characters of your address (i.e. 30 South Main Street would be 30S). If you have multiple properties, you can still link them all under one login to view those bills. Since this portal syncs with our accounting system, you will be able to see payment history and current balance information as well (which was not available with our previous e-statement site).

If you have any questions or need any assistance setting up your account with “MyGovHub” please call Town Hall at (828) 645-7116.
