Salyersville Mayor Stanley Howard has issued a statement addressing a recently reported water leak and concerns surrounding the city’s water system. Howard said the leak involved a small service line rather than an 8-inch main water line and has since been repaired by Salyersville Water Works. He said no customers experienced an interruption in service. Howard also acknowledged challenges with Salyersville’s aging water system, saying leaks and breaks are prioritized based on severity, water loss, customer impact and available resources. He encouraged residents with concerns to contact Salyersville Water Works directly and thanked employees for their work maintaining the system.
