In an article published by The Spirit of Jefferson, concerns are raised about the proposed operation of Mountain Pure bottled water in Middleway. The author highlights significant environmental risks associated with the extraction of water from local aquifers, particularly concerning water depletion, its impact on agriculture, local wildlife, and the residents' quality of life. Furthermore, the proposal may exacerbate traffic issues on the already congested roads of Middleway, threatening its rural character and leading to potential safety hazards due to increased commercial traffic.
