West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is embarking on a listening tour across Southern West Virginia to address residents’ concerns about drinking water. This tour includes visits to four counties over two days, with announcements made with little notice.
The initiative was revealed on Tuesday morning in Huntington, West Virginia. Governor Morrisey was joined by Marshall University President Brad Smith during this announcement. The focus is on areas that face water quality challenges.
Governor Morrisey aims to gather feedback from local communities to understand their worries regarding water issues. The tour is a step toward addressing these concerns and finding potential solutions.
This effort underscores the importance of clean and accessible water resources for communities in Southern West Virginia. Residents in the affected areas look forward to discussing these issues with the governor and seeking improvements to their water supply conditions.
