The Charles Town Utilities Board has formally decided to revoke its agreement with Sidewinder Enterprises regarding a planned water bottling facility in Middleway, Jefferson County. In a unanimous vote during Wednesday's meeting, the board annulled the contract that was initially established in April 2024, expressing worries about the project's potential effects and the adequacy of procedural oversight.

Sidewinder Enterprises aimed to establish the Mountain Pure Water Bottling Facility on a previously industrial site close to the historic village center of Middleway. Nevertheless, the initiative has encountered considerable opposition from community members and local groups. Key worries revolve around possible environmental harm, heightened traffic congestion, and the impact on local water supplies.
