Shenandoah River Low Water Impacts Power Plants
The Shenandoah River runs well below normal, forcing several small electric light plants along its banks to shut down during the day to conserve water for nighttime illumination. Virginia Valley towns face potential shortages, with Mount Jackson's water supply exhausted and reliance on wells and cisterns increasing. A town reservoir is slowly filling after a five week drought and a brief rain failed to restore normal conditions.
