Second Ronceverte Hearing on Proposed Sale of Water Systems to West Virginia American Water
Ronceverte held a second public hearing on Ordinance 2026-05, which would sell the city’s water and wastewater systems to West Virginia American Water. The city highlights that past infrastructure work for 100-year terra cotta lines led to higher rates and that water loss reached over 70% at times. A recent audit indicates a rate increase remains needed to cover operations and maintenance.
