Since mid-July, U.S. Silica has had a new plant manager in Berkeley Springs.

In early September, Rob Campbell, a volunteer at the Cacapon Resort State Park golf course and a frequent golfer, noticed the public water at the park was discolored.

The board of the Warm Spring Public Service District was told by both Town of Bath Mayor Susan Webster and Morgan County Commissioner Brenda Hutchinson that neither the town nor county has the authority to declare a structure or dwelling uninhabitable.

On Saturday, October 20, a pumpkin carving contest will be held in the park from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded in three age groups.

Last week was a big week for local state parks as Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and members of the West Virginia Legislature came to Berkeley Springs.

The Bath Town Council was clearly upset about the Warm Springs Public Service District’s new policy regarding the definition of an “uninhabitable property.”
