West Virginia American Water Advances Central Grove Project as Part of Broader Water System Upgrades

West Virginia American Water is initiating site preparation for the Central Grove Water Treatment Plant in Kearneysville, Jefferson County, near the intersection of Goldenrod Drive and Marie Drive.
Initial project activities include selective tree clearing, grading, decorative fencing, landscaping improvements, and well evaluation.
The new facility will integrate with the existing interconnected Walnut Grove system, which currently serves approximately 4,960 customers through nine treatment plants.
Connecting the Central Grove plant to the wider system will provide operators with increased flexibility to balance changing needs & ensure reliable water service.
This project builds upon over $11.7 million invested by the company in local water & wastewater improvements during its first three years of ownership in Jefferson County.
Residents are advised to avoid work zones due to ongoing crews & equipment during the initial phase, which also involves reseeding & planting new trees.
