In April 2025, the Fayette County governing body met in executive session with attorneys and representatives from West Virginia American Water to discuss a purchase offer, the presiding official said, adding, "There is not a sale. I'll say that upfront."

The presiding official moved that the body go into executive session for contract negotiations; another member seconded the motion and the meeting recessed. Upon returning, the presiding official said, "We just returned from executive session, and at this time, no decisions were made."

Officials noted that PSDs that "could be affected" by the proposal will come before the governing body to speak at a later date, but the transcript did not specify which PSDs, when those meetings would occur, or any timeline for public notification.

A final motion to adjourn followed and the meeting ended. The transcript contains no record of votes, contract terms, dollar amounts, timelines, or a formal decision to approve or reject any sale or transfer.
