Reservoir Finally Reopened
Posted by BFbes
MONGAUP VALLEY - Two years of drained water, resources and hopes ended triumphantly on Saturday, when Alliance Energy Renewables reopened public access to the Swinging Bridge Reservoir. Sullivan County's largest public boating lake had been closed since May 2005 while engineers repaired a large sinkhole in the reservoir's dam. In the interim, Alliance bought the property from a bankrupt Mirant (plus the Toronto, Mongaup Falls and Rio reservoirs) and set about accelerating the timetable.
