PIPELINE SUIT THREATENED

Some Roanoke River Basin residents, upset that they were ignored in mediations between Virginia Beach and North Carolina over the Lake Gaston pipeline, say they may go to court to block any agreement.

The Danville City Council spent more than two hours in a closed-door meeting Tuesday night with Patrick McSweeney, the Roanoke River Basin Association's attorney. Mayor Seward Anderson said after the meeting that the city would file a lawsuit over the proposed agreement.

The pipeline would bring 60 million gallons of water daily from Lake Gaston on the Virginia-North Carolina border to Virginia Beach and other southeastern Virginia localities.
