On August 6, 2026, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced a listening tour in Southern West Virginia. The aim is to hear residents’ concerns about drinking water quality. This initiative is particularly relevant for communities in four counties over a span of two days.
The announcement, made with Marshall University President Brad Smith in Huntington, comes amid ongoing discussions about water quality in the region. Huntington has often been at the center of water-related issues, making it a fitting location for the initiative’s launch.
Gov. Morrisey’s tour reflects a commitment to address pressing environmental issues faced by local communities. By engaging directly with residents, the tour aims to gather input that could inform future policies and actions regarding water safety and infrastructure improvements in West Virginia.
This listening tour is part of a broader effort to enhance quality of life for citizens in the area, ensuring access to clean and safe water. The governor’s engagement with stakeholders is expected to foster better understanding and prompt effective interventions where needed.
