Elkton, VA

Start Date: 12/11/2023 -  
The demand for water was high in Elkton, where water haulers might wait almost an hour to get a load of water. Just one of the two pumps at Bear Lithia Spring was operating at a time to alternate use between the two pumps. A number of other towns in the area discontinued water-hauling privileges due to the extreme drought. Water restrictions were voluntary. WHSV (Harrisonburg, Va.), Dec 11, 2023
