The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, July 17, 2025
During a special meeting, the Jefferson County Commission expressed its unanimous backing for the Charles Town Utility Board's complaint against West Virginia American Water. The commission voted to formally intervene in the ongoing case before the Public Service Commission, which revolves around allegations that the private utility aims to extend services into CTUB's territory without proper justification. CTUB claims that American Water does not have the necessary infrastructure and plans to construct a new water line for a developing mixed-use project, raising concerns about fairness and infrastructure use in Charles Town.
