HARRISBURG PA – The head of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission would like to see industry in the state pay for the water it uses, the Centre Daily Times newspaper in State College PA reported Thursday (March 3, 2011).
Commission Director John Arway told the newspaper his proposal would not represent a new or additional tax, but merely would compensate the state for an estimated 9.48 billion gallons used each day in Pennsylvania by power plants, water bottlers and other industries. Opponents say consumption-based costs would negatively affect power generating companies like Exelon Corp., although it was not specifically named.
