Charles Town Utility Board Secures Water Rights for New Development
American Water fights CTUB territory victory
The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, October 2, 2025
West Virginia American Water has appealed a PSC decision favoring the Charles Town Utility Board's exclusive rights to provide water services for a major development near Keyes Ferry Road, which includes plans for new homes and commercial lots. This situation highlights the ongoing utility competition in the region, particularly affecting local infrastructure and community development in areas like Charles Town and Ranson. The PSC's administrative law judge noted the advantages CTUB would have in serving this new development, amid concerns over overlapping service territories.
