A DEEP THIRST
Virginia hands localities a tall order: Plan now for future water needs
June 1, 2008 – Richmond Times Dispatch
Like many people, Nicole Earley doesn't think a lot about her drinking water. As long as it comes out of the faucet and tastes good, she said, she's happy. "I just leave it to the experts" to worry about the future of our water, said Earley, 34, of Richmond. The experts are starting to worry. For the first time, the state is requiring localities to submit plans for providing public water in coming decades. The idea is to help the localities prepare better for drought and growth. – BY REX SPRINGSTON |
