In a closely contested vote, the Charles Town City Council rejected a proposal by the Charles Town Utility Board for a $5 million bond to fund sewer projects. This decision, made with a 5-4 vote, was primarily aimed at preventing potential rate increases for CTUB's sewer customers. The proposed bond was intended to address critical upgrades to sewage lines and pump stations which have been a priority since 2014, as reported by The Spirit of Jefferson.
