Pound Water Services Agreement

While an exact amount in fines isn’t yet set, The Town of Pound, Virginia has relinquished its water and sewer services after the Virginia Attorney General’s Office presented the town with an ultimatum.According to Town Manager Drew Mullins, the Virginia Attorney General’s Office informed the Pound Town Council they could either consolidate their water services with Wise County Public Service Authority or face litigations.Mullins said the town council voted unanimously on Thursday morning to consolidate. Mullins believes the decision to consolidate satisfies all parties currently involved in the river debacle, including the Dickenson County Board of Supervisors, the Virginia Department of Health and the Attorney General’s Office.
