The construction of The Howard apartment complex, which plans to build 160 units at the former Blue Marsh Ski Area, is facing delays due to water supply concerns in North Heidelberg Township. Reading Area Water Authority Executive Director Bill Murray stated that the existing water supply has been strained by droughts. Township supervisors subsequently approved a time extension for the apartment proposal.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project's viability hinges on securing a new water source, specifically a third well. Bill Murray noted that permitting this well requires testing to ensure it does not negatively affect six surrounding wells. Preparing this well could take at least another year.
