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. This voluntary reduction request is due in part to the prolonged drought and on-going usage of water associated with the water main replacement project.” “They’re just not producing at the rate that we need them to produce right now because of the prolonged drought and because of the maintenance and repair that we’ve had to do to the system over the last year since we’ve been working on it,” said Bryan Miller, Assistant Manager for Stokes County.

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
