LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARED IN DUFFIELD DUE TO WATER SHORTAGE

8/13/2020

 
Picture
A local emergency has been declared in Duffield due to lack of water. Collapsed wells have impacted six homes on Blackgum Lane. Scott County officials are calling it a humanitarian and public health crisis. The issue began in November 2019 and since then bottled water has been delivered or been picked up every two weeks. The Duffield Fire Department has also hauled water to a collection water tank on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. The Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy has been contacted to investigate the cause of the well going dry.
