Modification to the Partial Consent Decree

Capital Region Water looks forward to meeting its clean water obligations, as it has since its inception, and ensuring that customers and stakeholders are partners in the process.

There are options for members of the public to comment on the modifications:

Formal comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to United States and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection v. Capital Region Water and City of Harrisburg, D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–10157.

The comment period is open through Monday, March 20, 2023. Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail.

CRW’s leadership team is also accepting informal feedback. This information does inform our planning and public outreach. Staff can provide access to either a paper or electronic feedback form.

After consideration of public comments and any final changes, the partner agencies, led by DOJ, will ask the court to approve and enter the Modification to the Partial Consent Decree. When the court grants this motion, the Consent Decree will be final. Capital Region Water will continue to report progress on a semi-annual basis. Information will be available through the website and associated public notification procedures.
