Since Hurrican Helene, the town has been working to restore clean running water in Asheville and the surrounding area. Water has been restored in the area, but please follow local guidelines as much of the area is under a boil water notice. Updates can be found at https://www.ashevillenc.gov/helene/water-services-recovery/ For guests staying at the Renaissance hotel, the hotel has brought in a water truck that will be servicing the hotel. Hotels in the area have followed suit as well.
Much of downtown has reopened since Hurrican Helene. We highly recommend supporting local business in any way that you can - Asheville runs on tourism and hospitality.
