On Monday Capital Region Water announced a proposal to conserve its 8,000 acre DeHart Watershed Property, the source of drinking water for Harrisburg in Dauphin County, by easement in partnership with the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, The Nature Conservancy-PA, and Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County.
Under the proposal, Capital Region Water will receive approximately $9 million through the Fort Indiantown Gap Army Compatible Use Buffer Program to grant a conservation easement limiting development on the property.
This proposal will be voted on at Capital Region Water's Board of Directors meeting on April 27. Public comments will be accepted until April 8 and can be submitted online, through the mail, email, and in person at public hearings on March 23 and March 29.
