According to an incident report, the SCMA's chief water operator was at the Indian Run Water Treatment Plant in Branch Township helping Herb fix valves when he observed the 52-year-old urinate into the water supply.
"Upon entering the filtering room...the Chief Water Operator observed the accused urinating into filter unit # 2," the Allentown Morning Call reported.
Herb was charged Monday with tampering with a public water system, institutional vandalism and criminal mischief.
In addition to Pottsville, the Indian Run plant provides water to Forest Hills, Bunker Hill and Mt. Carbon.
