Change in Corrosion Control Treatment at the CTUB Water Treatment Plant
The Charles Town Utility Board (CTUB) public water system, (PWS) ID WV3301905, would like to inform our customers of an upcoming change to the corrosion control treatment used in our public water system.
Beginning on Monday, March 23, 2026, we will transition from a zinc orthophosphate-based corrosion inhibitor to a polyphosphate blend. This adjustment is part of our ongoing efforts to optimize water quality, maintain regulatory compliance and enhance the protection of our water distribution system.
Polyphosphate is widely used in drinking water treatment to help reduce corrosion, minimize scale buildup and maintain water clarity throughout the distribution system. This change has been carefully evaluated to ensure it continues to meet all applicable State and Federal drinking water standards.
During the transition period, some customers may notice temporary changes in their water, including possible “cloudy” or slightly hazy appearance. This condition is typically aesthetic in nature and does not pose a health concern. However, if you experience cloudy water or any other unusual water quality concerns, we encourage you to contact our office promptly so that our staff can investigate and respond appropriately.
Our team is committed to ensuring the continued safety and reliability of your drinking water. If you have any questions about this change or would like additional information, please contact us at 304-725-2316 or [email protected].

CASE NO. 26-0108-E-CN
MONONGAHELA POWER COMPANY and
THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY
Application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate an approximate 1200 MW combined cycle gas plant at its existing Ft. Martin power station in Monongalia County, West Virginia and to construct 70 MWs of solar generation at three sites.
NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING
On February 13, 2026, Monongahela Power Company and The Potomac Edison Company (Companies) filed an application requesting issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity pursuant to W. Va. Code §24-2-11 along with rate recovery. The specific request is for Mon Power to construct and operate an approximate 1200 MW combined cycle gas plant at its existing Ft. Martin power station in Monongalia County, West Virginia, and to construct 70 MW of solar generation at three sites: Wylie Ridge, near Weirton; Davis, near the Town of Davis; and Valley Point, near Albright, WV. The Companies state the new generation resources are needed to meet increasing customer demand for electric power and would not materially impact their existing coal-fired power plants.
The anticipated cost of the new generation is approximately $2.7 billion. The Companies requested a surcharge to recover the financing costs of the project during the construction period, and to recover the costs associated with owning and operating the projects after they are placed in service. The surcharge would begin the month after approval by the Commission. The initial surcharge is proposed to impact customer bills as shown below:
Average$ Increase
Per month% Increase
Residential $1.18 0.9%
Commercial $2.86 0.7%
Industrial $1,870.82 0.9 %
Streetlighting $0.26 0.1 %
The average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWhs) per month would see an increase in the monthly bill of $1.18, from $138.09 to $139.27 or a 0.9 percent increase.
This matter is scheduled for an evidentiary hearing on July 16 and 17, 2026. The hearings will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Howard M. Cunningham Hearing Room at the Public Service Commission, 201 Brooks Street, Charleston, West Virginia. The Commission may cancel the evidentiary hearing for good cause shown.
