The Municipal Authority of the Borough of Shenandoah continues to prohibit hunting and fishing on its properties and violations are being monitored.
According to the Republican Herald, the topic of authority land accessibility was discussed at length at the board’s special meeting in March on whether to issue fishing permits for the reservoirs in Union Township. At that time, the authority issued permits at no charge to residents within the authority’s service area. However, at the April special meeting, the MABS board voted to deny the use on all authority-owned property for fishing, hunting and other recreational activities.
Daniel Salvadore, the authority’s chief water plant operator said the restrictions remain in place because the permits raised the issue of potential insurance liability and watershed protection for anyone using the properties, with or without permission.
