Gov. Patrick Morrisey is embarking on a listening tour to address concerns about drinking water in Southern West Virginia. This initiative is set to span four counties over a two-day period, announced with little prior notice.

The announcement was made on Tuesday morning by Gov. Morrisey alongside Marshall University President Brad Smith. This event took place in Huntington, West Virginia, an area often linked to discussions about water quality.

Gov. Morrisey’s tour aims to engage with residents directly. By listening to their concerns, he intends to better understand the water quality issues faced by communities within the region.

This tour highlights ongoing challenges related to water quality and accessibility, concerns that many residents have expressed over the years.
