Madison's Drinking Water Threatened
West Virginia Water Co officials considered shifting pumping from the main filtration plant to a temporary pump on Spruce Creek after dark brown water flowed down Pond Fork of the Little Coal River. The water, described as black ink by the filtration plant head, originates about 12 miles upstream near a pond owned by the &O Coal Co near Van. Superintendent J. E. Curry said Pond Fork darkened moments before Monday night’s shutdown, hoping a nearby dam would settle the water by today. otherwise 1,225 customers in Madison and Danville would be served after pumping is redirected.
