CITY OF GARY
Proceeding to determine whether the City of Gary Municipal Water Works is a distressed or failing utility Under W.Va. Code § 24-2H-1 et seq.


NOTICE OF HEARING

On July 9, 2025, Commission Staff petitioned the Commission to open a general investigation or a proceeding under W.Va. Code § 24-2H-1 et seq.. regarding the City of Gary Municipal Water Works (Gary). Staff represented Gary customers have experienced poor water quality for many years and persistent boil water advisories. The Commission referred the proceeding to its Division of Administrative Law Judges for hearing and public comment. Staff subsequently recommended the Commission determine Gary is a distressed utility and direct McDowell County Public Service District to work with Gary.

The City of Welch and McDowell County Public Service District have been designated as potential capable proximate utilities that could assume the operation or ownership of Gary if necessary.

This matter has been scheduled for public comment and an evidentiary hearing on March 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., at the McDowell Armory, County Commission Conference Room, 600 Stewart Street, Welch, West Virginia.

The public hearing shall be conducted to receive comment from interested individuals, including comment regarding options available to bring the potential distressed or failing utility into compliance with statutory and regulatory standards. At the evidentiary hearing, the Commission shall receive evidence to determine (i) if the utility is a distressed or failing utility, (ii) whether a capable proximate utility should acquire or manage Gary or (iii) if there is a reasonable alternative disposition.
