The Charles Town Utility Board (CTUB) unanimously voted to rescind its water service agreement with Mountain Pure, which plans to build a large water bottling facility near the old 3M factory in Middleway. Concerns over transparency have been raised, prompting a new vote scheduled for February 5. While some residents oppose the facility outright, others believe collaborating with Mountain Pure is preferable to allowing another utility provider to step in, reflecting the ongoing community debate surrounding local development in the area, as reported by The Spirit of Jefferson.
