📰 News we're reading

• The Roanoke Valley is experiencing a drought, but it's far from raising red flags (cardinalnews.org) — Boones Mill residents get their water from the Western Virginia Water Authority, which says its reservoirs still hold more than 500 days of supply despite the ongoing drought. Carvins Cove and Spring Hollow are below full but far from emergency levels, and officials are rethinking drought plans and water rates as Google’s massive Botetourt County data center prepares to become a major new customer.
