Charles Town Utility Board Pursues Sidewinder Agreement Updates
CTUB demands Sidewinder update at every meeting until, changing course again
The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, May 1, 2025
The Charles Town Utility Board has mandated discussions regarding Sidewinder Enterprises' water service agreement at every meeting until the Mountain Pure beverage packaging facility is operational or the plan is abandoned. This agreement, which has seen a tumultuous history of rescindment and reinstatement, is currently under scrutiny following significant community opposition during a Jefferson County Planning Commission meeting. Sidewinder is also engaged in legal battles to reverse the Planning Commission's rejection of the plan. The outcome remains uncertain for the Utility Board, which is navigating public sentiment and regulatory challenges.
