Va. Beach needed water. So Virginia built a pipeline from Lake Gaston. It still exists. Gaston is on the Virginia - Carolina border. The folks in North Carolina didn’t much like that. The Commonwealth actually said officially that they were only taking the water from the Virginia side.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
