Public Notice:

On Sunday, October 16, 2022, the Clarksville Police Department was made aware of several vulture/buzzard carcassas in town at two of their common roosting places. After consulting with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, it is believed that these birds died as a result of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenze (HPAI) as many cases have been seen throughout the Commonwealth. The police department and town employees retrieved these carcasses and properly disposed of them following the guidance of the VA DWR.

Clarksville Police Department and the Town of Clarksville recommends not handling any bird carcasses and to keep your pets and poultry away from the same. If you do encounter any, maintain a safe distance and contact law enforcement.

Found! Is this your cat?

I live on Buffalo Road in Clarksville. This very tame, solid white, beautiful and possibly pregnant cat showed up at my house 2 days ago. I think she is someone's pet because she keeps trying to come in my house. She is not feral. Very sweet and loving.

No one wants their night to end with a DUI. When you’re ready to go, get a safe ride. Old enough to drink?

The Town of Clarksville will be replacing one of the raw water pumps in the pump station located on the Highway 58 Business Bridge. To accommodate the replacement, Highway 58 Business Bridge in Clarksville will be closed on (Monday) 8/8/2022 thru (Friday) 8/12/2022 during the times of 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. The bridge will open each day at 5 PM.

There will be no disruption of water service to the residents and businesses of the Town during this replacement.

The Town apologizes for any inconvenience and we appreciate the public’s cooperation in this matter.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Town Hall at 434-374-8177 or e-mail us at [email protected].

The Lake Life Live Board of Directors are already working with the bands to find a revised date later in the year. This was not an easy decision and Lake Life Live’s concerns are always for the bands, patrons, and vendors.



Live Life Live hopes to seeing everyone on Saturday, June 4th with The Chairmen of the Board!!
