## Resource

Lincoln Public Service District, drowning in $6.2 million debt and struggling to keep water flowing, has been sold to West Virginia-American Water for $12.9 million — a move approved by the state Public Service Commission. Serving over 2,500 customers across three counties, the district’s financial woes and rising operational costs made the sale inevitable. Under new ownership, residents can expect cleaner water, more reliable service, and three planned rate adjustments over the next two years — eventually aligning with state-wide rates.
