PRENTER, West Virginia -- Water woes consuming a small community in Boone County has residents springing into action.
Those living along the ten mile stretch of Prenter Road in Boone County say for the last few years, their water has become undrinkable.
A waterline project is underway, but they say it could take a year or more.
So they've started a water project...barrels sit on porches of participating residents and a tank was purchased to haul in clean water.
But the barrels remain empty.
"Really the only thing that we're waiting for is more funding to be able to pay our delivery driver and the ongoing costs of the project. If somebody walked up to me today and handed me $2,000 there'd be water being delivered in two days," said Mathew Louis-Rosenberg with the Prenter Water Fund.
To make a tax-deductible donation to the Prenter Water Fund, visit www.prenterwaterfund.org, send to Prenter Water Fund c/o Coal River Mountain Watch, P.O. Box 651, Whitesville, WV 25209 or call (304) 854-1937.
