Revenues for Reading Area Water Authority were down for seven to eight months due to the request for voluntary water conservation. As a result, billings were down a quarter of a million dollars a month, according to an employee with RAWA.
Berks County remained in a drought warning by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s reckoning. At that stage, the aim is to curb water use by 10% to 15%.
