water went out yesterday around 6pm and its still out today. im trying not to freak out because i have a newborn and need to wash and sanitize her bottles to feed her but obviously i cant do that if the water is out. i dont have a family members house i can go to to use their water btw so im really at a loss.

Is anyone else (Ashland) still experiencing lower water pressure? I am hoping it's just temporary from the recent issues, but curios that it may be an issue just at my house.

I have lived in Ashland for over 25 years and have yet to make it to the coast.

Anyone got their town PPT in the mail or notice of it being ready? When I reached out to town finance a couple weeks ago they said the bills would be sent out this month and they were due in February. Considering Hanover has already sent out notices how long does it take for the town to send theirs out?

We just stopped at the Sheetz to charge and ran into two beautiful cats. We went and grabbed them food from inside. We aren’t from here and are hoping someone here knows a rescue that can help them.

Whomever was taking a cruise in the hot air balloon this morning over town today…mad respect. It was quite chilly and I’d imagine much cooler up in the air.

So this month's billing cycle, which I just got my bill for, was for 51.69, last year's bill for the same month cycle was 48.23. That's a $3.46 difference. There is only 1 kWh difference. Last year was 295 and this year was 296. In comparing the two bills the main difference seems to be in the distribution service charge, with this current bill's charge being over $3 more than last years charge. Did rates increase or did Dominion start tacking new charges on us?

I can't see how 1kWh justifies the bill being more than $3 during the same time period as last year's bill with almost identical power usage. Last years ESS is also $2.86 cheaper than this years, 29.01 vs 26.15. Surprising the fuel section this year is about $2 cheaper than last years. Don't see how generation and transmission costs have gone up.

Comparing last October's bill to this bill is confusing as they have been redesigned.

Looking at properties in Ashland and wanted to know what internet providers are in the area. Trying to avoid Xfinity others like them.

Please take this and pass it along to interested people. Ashland's AHA (Ashland Helping Ashland) program is set up to help you and others in Ashland get work done without costly investment in tools and resources. Here is the link https://www.ashlandva.gov/699/Ashland-Helping-Ashland-AHA

I think Cville has a similar program, would love to see more localities in our area take this on and run with it.

When does Hanover send out PPT bill for vehicles? Does Ashland double dip and send a bill too or is the only tax collected by Hanover?

I have a quick question for the Hanover/Ashland area. I need to make a decision quickly if I am going remain where I rent or if I need to move. I keep hearing that rents are starting to decrease but my landlord is raising rent for "market reasons", which I think is due to the incoming RMC class and need for student housing. I'd prefer to remain in the town of Ashland proper and under $1300/mo. A small, well trained elderly 15 lb doggo is also part of the family here. Other than normal rental agencies or land barons in the area is there anything out here?

Edit- corrected typo

This is like the third time in a week that Xfinity has gone out in town. Never had issues until they decided to start upgrading. Kinda hard to work from home when Comcast keeps crapping out. 🤬

My rant is over but I am still serious, with as much as they charge you'd think they can keep the service up.

Edit- restored. The outage map was unable to be accessed because of obviously the power being out and difficulties getting a cellular connection to work.

Do we know how wide spread the power outage is in Ashland? Live near Gandy off art 1 and powers been off nearly 30 min. Don’t see a map of outages in the area but app reports between 1-4 pm service restoration.

Is there anywhere to go for a night out dancing? I'm looking for the most club-like experience Ashland can offer for a group of 30-something women. I know Richmond isn't that far, but I want to know about Ashland. TYIA.
