Dry conditions prompt water-use plea in Tazewell County
Beasley notes rainfall in Blacksburg and surrounding counties remains well below normal with June totals and year to date figures well under average. The Tazewell County Public Service Authority urges voluntary conservation, asking residents to limit lawn watering car washing and pool filling as local supplies at the Claypool Hill and Tazewell plants show critically low levels. County officials stress there is no mandate or ordinances yet and rainfall forecasts do not indicate improvement in coming weeks.
