yes it is :):) Isn't it wonderful? Thanks to the Greenwood residents who didn't give up!! They went through the red tape and the meetings and kept their cool despite the horrible problems they've had.(Can you imagine not having drinkable water in this day and age? We're not a 3rd world country! Having to use bottled water for baby bottles and brushing your teeth and...) I called to ask how long the actual work would take - estimates are about 4 mo (I guess depending on weather?)- so THIS YEAR!! WOOOOOHOOOO

This is such great news!
A dear friend of mine just purchased the Greenwood Motel. She's going to be so excited to hear this. Congrats to everyone from Greenwood and our county commission for working so hard to make this possible! anyone need a water filtration system that would work on a cruise ship out at sea? This is one water bill I'll never complain about paying! |

when the Greenwood Motel reopens, be sure to tell her to contact info@westunionfest.org so we can list it as lodging for those who come to the festival and reunions and things. I'm really happy for her. I don't know how the Greenwood businesses have held up at all. Lack of basics - water, internet, reliable electicity, are discouraging at home - but for a business - eeeek! Doddridge is really hurting for overnight lodging, so she should do well. Wish her the best!!!:)

Fran,
I'll pass the info along to her. |

I think it is terrible that Crystal Lake community can't get city water, We are closer to West Union than Greenwood.
