The Westmoreland Municipal Authority permission to withdraw water from the -Youghiogheny River near Cprinellsville. applied for permit from the state board and received approval on Feb. 11, 1969.

Its permit would authorize drawing 20 million gallons of water daily for a 50-year period, taking the water from the southern outskirts of Connellsville for distribution in Westmoreland County. According to Maurice K. Goddard, state board chairman, all interested parties may appear either in person or by council to their views at the hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today in Room, 331, Education Building, Harrisburg. The action is listed as Permit WA The Fayette'County Board of Commissioners, has been joined by a number of municipalities, including Connellsville, depend on the river as their source of water, objected to the proposal stating as one of the reasons that a public hearing was not held prior to the granting of the permit.

The commissioners asked that the hearing be held before the project is allowed bo proceed. Others joining in the opposition were South Connellsville.

Harner said authority selected the site near Connellsville for the proposed project after consulting engineers said it was the best available source oi water in the area. A principal reason for going ahead with the plan, according to Harner, was the location ol a 36-inch water line -running om its reservoir along the Youghiogheny i and roughly parallelling Route 119 to the-Greens-burg area.
