(Ambridge, PA) According to a release from State Representative Rob Matzie’s office, Matzie made a statement after PennEnergy rescinded its permit to withdraw 1.5 million gallons of water per day from Big Sewickley Creek. Matzie called the action the “best possible news for our community,” even though people had went against the petitions of PennEnergy at the beginning. Matzie also noted that PennEnergy made a choice to save the wildlife and water that is fresh in the creek.
