The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County are asking for further water samples from the Beaver Run Reservoir.
The Tribune-Review reports that a natural gas well near the reservoir recently lost pressure. CNX Resources has shut down operations of the Shaw 1-G Well because of the pressure anomaly. Beaver Run Reservoir serves over 130,000 customers in the area. Local university IUP has been contacted as well to help with a quarterly analysis of the water from the reservoir. CNX and the Municipal Authority are both saying that there’s been no environmental impact.
