We regret that in the Early December print edition of Warren County Report we incorrectly reported that Adam Lewis Pyles of Dale City, VA had been indicted by the Warren County Circuit Court Grand Jury. In fact the Grand Jury found that the indictment we were provided was not a true bill.

Mandatory water conservation in Front Royal
Mandatory Water Conservation
of the Town’s Municipal Water System
The Town of Front Royal Department of Environmental Services has observed that the 14-day rolling average stream flow rate of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River has dropped below 340 cubic feet per second (cfs), or approximately 220 million gallons per day. The average river flow for 2007 as measured by the United States Geological Survey was 1,774 cfs, indicating that the river is flowing at 19% of last year’s average flow. The Town’s permit for water withdrawal from the river issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality stipulates certain river flow rates require various conservation measures. As a result of this reduced river flow and in compliance with the issued withdrawal permit, all users of the Town of Front Royal’s municipal water system are advised to observe mandatory water conservation efforts.
During periods of mandatory water conservation, all users of Front Royal municipal water system shall be prohibited from the following:
1.The watering of shrubbery, trees, lawns, grass, plants, or any other vegetation from Town water supplies (except indoor plantings, greenhouse and commercial nursery stocks, and new plantings less than one year old) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
2.The outdoor washing of automobiles, trucks, trailers, boats, airplanes, or other types of mobile equipment, except in a commercial vehicle wash facility.
3.The washing of private streets, driveways, parking lots, service station grounds, or other paved outdoor surfaces.
4.The operation of any ornamental fountains, unless the water is recycled. Municipal ornamental fountains shall be cleaned and closed within two (2) days of the mandatory water conservation restriction declaration.
5.The filling of swimming and/or wading pools, except that filled pools may be topped off to maintain the appropriate levels for use.
Violation of any of these mandatory water conservation activities can be punished by a fine up to $1000 per offense committed. In addition, each day that a violation occurs can be punished as a separate offense. Water users are urged to comply with these efforts.
Water users are requested to continue to reduce water usage through various other water conservation measures.
Thank you for your assistance in conserving our water resources during this low river flow time period. Please monitor your local media sources for future reports of water conservation efforts in the Town of Front Royal.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact the Department of Environmental Services at (540) 635-7819.

Warren County Report Newspaper
So we have a new site…
Having gone through now two disastrous site crashes with Drupal (losing an entire social community) and then Yahoo’s ghetto version of Movable Type (with absolutely no support) I have decided to move Warren County Report to a hosted platform on wordpress.com.
You’ll notice that the new site has a lot of state news that we think is interesting. It will also soon feature a complete archive of all back issues of the print edition dating back to our August 15, 2006 debut. The newspaper has a much more local focus than this site.
Please comment and consider yourself part of our family no matter where you might live.
And thank you for making us Front Royal and Warren County Virginia’s most popular newspaper.
