In a recent article published by The Spirit of Jefferson, a state delegate expresses strong opposition to the proposed Mountain Pure Bottling Plant due to its potential threat to homeowners' property rights in Ranson and surrounding areas. The delegate highlights concerns that the excessive groundwater extraction could deplete local wells, infringing on residents' rights to access water.
