West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has announced a listening tour focused on gathering input about drinking water issues in Southern West Virginia. The announcement was made on Tuesday morning in Huntington, West Virginia, alongside Marshall University President Brad Smith.
The tour will take place over two days and will cover four counties in the region. Residents will have the opportunity to express their concerns and share experiences related to water quality. Despite the short notice given for the event, the tour aims to address widespread concerns about clean drinking water in the area.
The focus on water quality ties into ongoing efforts to ensure the health and safety of West Virginia’s residents. The state has faced challenges regarding water infrastructure and contamination, making this tour a significant opportunity for community feedback and government response.
Governor Morrisey’s initiative is part of a broader effort to engage with communities and address public health issues in the state. The results of the listening tour are expected to influence future policy decisions and infrastructure investments related to water resources in West Virginia.
