During a recent city utility board meeting on January 8, John Nissel, chairman of the Charles Town Utility Board and the city manager, announced his support for the unanimous decision to nullify the water service agreement with Sidewinder Enterprises LLC. This California company was planning to establish a major water bottling facility in Middleway, raising concerns among local representatives about the implications for water resources and community priorities in the region. The decision reflects ongoing discussions regarding development impacts in places like Charles Town and the surrounding areas.
