PUNXSUTAWNEY — Pennsylvania American Water (PAW) is riding the wave of the future with its CNG vehicles.
Local officials joined with Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Sam Smith and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection officials Friday at PAW's Punxsutawney office to mark the company’s launch of a compressed natural gas (CNG) pilot program for its vehicle fleet.
