PA - Water tests faked
The operator of the Northern Cambria water treatment plant falsified water tests required by the state to check for water safety, investigators from the state attorney general’s office say.
Charges of making false statements to the state Department of Environmental Protection were filed Thursday against Thomas J. Yeckley of Carroll town, the water plant’s operator since 2004.
State investigators accuse Yeckleyof taking water test samples from a laboratory sink and presenting them as being drawn system-wide so that the borough’s water would appear to be safe.
He is the second Northern Cambria water plant worker to be criminally charged in the past year. David Suchar was fired as water plant manager and is still facing charges of forgery and stealing from the borough. His next hearing is scheduled for March 29.
