Water problems plague "downtown" Botetourt
It hasn't been a good day for utilities in Botetourt County. Right now county workers are trying to repair a leak in front of the Dodge Store described as "major" by the Public Works Department. "Downtown" Botetourt eateries around Exit 150 on Route 11 are having to turn away customers.
According to the McDonald's manager, they have been out of water service most of the day, but she was turning away in store customers after she was told they couldn't serve while the water is off and the leak repaired. However, the drive through is open, though only milkshakes and previous prepared drinks are for sale with meals. Hardees, and other area eateries like Shoneys and even up U.S. 220 toward Pizza Hut, are experiencing the same difficulty.
Public Works hopes to have the water leak fixed as quickly as possible.
Earlier today the power went out at the Fincastle Courthouse closing offices and sending people scurrying for wireless at other sites. For a link to that item, click here.
