TOWN OF BLACK CREEK

What TOWN OF BLACK CREEK does

The Town of Black Creek is a small municipal government entity located in Black Creek, Wilson County, North Carolina, at 112 West Center Street. Under North Carolina state law, the town is governed by a mayor and a board of six commissioners who meet on the second Tuesday of each month in the Town Hall Meeting Room; the current mayor is Ralph "Mack" Smith, Jr. The town employs between one and ten staff, with offices open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

The core services delivered by the town are water and electric utility distribution to residents, alongside statutory municipal functions such as local governance, ordinance management, planning, and public meetings. The technology stack supporting operations is minimal: an official website (townofblackcreek.org) hosted, designed, and maintained by CT Tech Corp, an official Facebook page for community communications (facebook.com/blackcreeknc), and a third-party online bill payment portal provided by Logics Hosted. Additional community assets include the Ralph M. Smith Senior Enrichment Center, Black Creek Town Park, and a Community Building available for private rental under published guidelines. Active operational programs include a staged Water Shortage Response Plan (Stage I voluntary; Stage II mandatory 10% reduction) governing water usage during drought conditions.

Revenue is generated through property taxes and utility fees (water and electric) charged to households and businesses within town boundaries, classified as a utility-services revenue model. Utility billing rates are not publicly disclosed; customers apply for service and pay according to the 2026 Utility Customer Policy. Disconnection days are published monthly on the town website. The entity is a publicly-owned municipal government with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed financial statements, and is not subject to PE/VC-style investment mechanics.

Recent moves6 records

Broad incumbents

• Town of Wilson, NC: The county seat of Wilson County and a much larger North Carolina municipality operating its own water, electric, and gas utilities. Operates in the same county but serves a substantially larger population with broader service scope.
• Essential Utilities (formerly Aqua America): A large publicly-traded regulated water and natural gas utility operating across multiple states. Provides a benchmark for water-utility operating models at scale, though vastly larger than a single-town municipal operator.
• American Water Works Company: The largest publicly-traded water and wastewater utility in the United States, serving millions of customers across multiple states. Comparable on the core regulated water-utility service model but at orders-of-magnitude greater scale.

Direct peers

• Town of Stantonsburg, NC: A small North Carolina municipality in Wilson County providing similar local government and utility services. Most directly comparable peer given the same county, comparable population scale, and matching service mix.
• Town of Lucama, NC: A small North Carolina town in Wilson County offering similar municipal services. Comparable on geography, scale, and the combination of utility and general government functions.
