Opposition To Mandatory Tap On Ordinance Grows
A Henry County Virginia group opposes a mandatory tap on ordinance and weighs joining Abbs Valley in a suit against the Tazewell County Water and Sewer Authority over a county system.

The case, aided by amicus briefs and state officials, centers on local water authority powers and mandatory connections.
