West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is initiating a tour focused on understanding residents’ concerns about drinking water quality. Starting without much notice, the tour spans two days and covers four counties in Southern West Virginia.
Governor Morrisey announced this effort alongside Marshall University President Brad Smith in Huntington. The region has been notably associated with water quality issues, prompting the Governor’s direct engagement with the community.
During this tour, the Governor aims to gather insights directly from residents, addressing the challenges they face concerning water safety and availability. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that all communities within the state have access to clean and safe drinking water.
