New lines extended to Wyoming County water system HERNDON, W.Va. (WVVA) Three years ago, we first brought you the story of Herndon Community Water, a water system with more violations of the Clean Water Act than any other water system in the U.S. At that time, Herndon Community Water was simply a bunch of neighbors helping neighbors pump water from a nearby mine. For years, they had treated and tested the water. But as the residents grew older, their efforts to keep up compliance faltered. By 2018, the water system led the nation in violations, not necessarily because the water was bad, but because residents could no longer test and report the results.
