55,000 gallons of gasoline spills into Susquehanna, effect on Lancaster County drinking water unclear 

A broken pipeline in Lycoming County on Friday dumped 55,000 gallons of gasoline into the Susquehanna River.

As the river, swollen with 6 to 8 inches of rain that fell overnight Thursday, rushes south, Lancaster County officials are gearing up to prevent contamination of the local water supply.

“With the amount that spilled, we certainly could see some impact on our intake along the Susquehanna River,” Charlotte Katzenmoyer, director of public works for Lancaster, said Friday afternoon.
