Water conservation encouraged in Danbury

DANBURY — Water conservation is being encouraged in Danbury due to ongoing concerns with the well stations having to pump long hours. “The Danbury Water Fund and Stokes County Public Works is asking all customers to begin voluntarily reducing water use starting Oct. 30,” a release shared with The Stokes News Wednesday explained. “This request is being made to encourage water conservation and help protect our community’s water supply.

We just lost a lot of water throughout that process and you couple that with the drought and our wells are just having a hard time keeping up.” Their
