LINCOLN COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Lincoln County commissioners voted unanimously Thursday night to approve the sale of the Lincoln Public Service District to West Virginia American Water (WVAW).

West Virginia American Water proposes to buy Lincoln PSD

As we reported early last month, some customers reported seeing discolored water while others got nothing at all. Commissioners hope this sale will eliminate those problems.

As part of the sale, WVAW said it will invest money for improvements to the water system including replacing aging lines.

Customers will phase over to WVAW rates during the next two years.
