Winston-Salem Water Supply Not Impacted by Coal Ash Spill

by Betsy Chapman

News media continue to report on a leaking stormwater pipe that dumped tons of coal ash and wastewater into the Dan River in Eden, near the North Carolina-Virginia state line.

The City of Winston-Salem has confirmed to Residence Life & Housing officials that the city’s water supply, which services Wake Forest University, comes from the Yadkin River and is not impacted by the spill.
