📰 News we're reading
• What Virginia's water crises are telling us about the infrastructure under our feet (augustafreepress.com) — Waynesboro’s water system may not make headlines like Richmond’s, but it faces the same aging pipes, retiring operators, and rising treatment costs as utilities across Virginia. This explainer breaks down why quiet systems can still be vulnerable and how residents can push for long-term investment before something fails. If you care about reliable tap water here, it’s worth knowing what questions to ask at local utility meetings.
