Alliance Aims to Fill Reservoir

MONGAUP VALLEY - Its purchase of Mirant NY-Gen's properties isn't complete yet, but Alliance Energy Renewables has promised to refill the Swinging Bridge Reservoir "to the levels prior to the dam repair." That comes with three caveats that it is safe to do so, that Mirant itself won't have already completed the refill, and that Mother Nature ultimately determines the reservoir's level. "Alliance recognizes the critical recreational and economic value of the reservoir to the community," explained Alliance spokesperson Jane Rubinstein.
