Please be advised the Town has moved into voluntary water conservation measures as of Wednesday, September 18, 2024. As a precaution, Town and fringe area residents are encouraged to use water conservatively where possible.

Weather conditions have been dry impacting the water levels at the James River Dam, which supplies water to Town and fringe area residents.  

During this time, the Town is asking residents to limit unnecessary activities that use excess water such as filling pools, washing vehicles, watering lawns and vegetable gardens, etc.  

The Town will continue to work with the County and closely monitor the watershed conditions as well as the long-range weather forecasts for any possible changes to these measures.

The Town thanks all residents and businesses in advance for their cooperation and for using our water resources in a responsible manner.
