Judge rules in favor of Charles Town Utility Board concerning territory dispute
The Journal | Sunday, September 14, 2025
In a recent ruling by Chief Administrative Law Judge Keith George, the Charles Town Utility Board gained exclusive rights over a territory dispute against West Virginia-American Water. The conflict arose when WVAW attempted to extend water services to a development located between Keyes Ferry Road and Old Country Club Road, prompting CTUB to file a formal complaint with the West Virginia Public Service Commission about unauthorized encroachment on its planned growth area. This decision is significant for local infrastructure as it affects future water service and development in Charles Town.
