Citizens Utility, Inc. purchased this property in the 1970's from Blue Mountain Water Company. Citizens is the largest landowner in Cherry Valley; they own 3,370 acres on the western end of the Valley where wells and two reservoirs are located. Citizens only taps four of the many springs existing on their property, and they use the water for backup only, generally during the summer months when other sources are low. They maintain a pumping station to move the water through pipes, most of which are located on the surface, up and over the Blue Mountain ridge into Wind Gap and Nazareth. |
