Water shortage at Keen Mountain Correctional Center prompts strict measures
At Keen Mountain Correctional Center in Buchanan County Virginia inmates endure limited showers and boiled or bottled water as the county faces pump problems and distant water sources. The facility sources water via Buchanan County Public Service Authority with daily limited inflows and special scheduling. A $1.3 million emergency loan funds a new well and treatment plant near Keen Mountain to stabilize supply.
