PSA raises hydrant access and camper blocking concerns near Virginia 500

Carroll County Public Service Authority · January 6, 2026

Summary

Members raised a public-safety concern about a fire hydrant’s operation and reported a camper parked near the former Texaco site on Virginia 500 that may obstruct hose deployment. Staff were asked to contact the camper’s owner or Debbie to resolve the blockage.

During old business the board discussed a fire hydrant that was not functioning properly or was difficult to operate and asked what steps would be taken to fix it. A board member asked, "What are we gonna do to fix the problem?" and staff replied they were working to resolve hydrant issues.

Separately, a member reported a camper parked near the former Texaco location on Virginia 500, describing it as about three to four feet from the hydrant access and potentially obstructing hose deployment. The member asked staff to try to convince the occupant to move the camper and, if that failed, to contact "Debbie" to assist with removal.

No formal motion or enforcement action was recorded during the meeting; members discussed options and requested follow-up. The transcript indicates staff will pursue resolution but does not record a timeline or specific enforcement steps.
