On Sunday, January 11, Plateau Action Network Volunteers from Thurmond, Fayetteville and Oak Hill- and three organizers from Raleigh county traveled 1 1/2 hours to Prenter, WV . Boone County, to help insulate and attach plug in heat tape to drinking water barrels. Barrels of drinking water are needed in Prenter because wells have been poisoned from mining activity in the area. We got 40 out of about 250 barrels done. Some barrels are inside but most are outside on porches. Tonight and tomorrow temps are to be in the single digits.
