David Pribulka, manager of Ferguson Township in Centre County, stood on a suburban street in late February, as snow melted and ran down a drain. The township recently adopted a stormwater fee, and he was pointing to one of the projects the fee will help pay for: a badly needed improvement to a drainage way. A lot of these storm pipes are undersized. So they become overwhelemed with stormwater particularly after significant rain events and flooding, Pribulka said. “It’s starting to erode the channel throughout. Much of the channel is immediately adjacent to residential properties, and people that are starting to see their own backyards get smaller and smaller every year.”

PITTSBURGH – A judge has sent to a lawsuit brought by a Clairton municipal service provider and two borough citizens regarding the City of Clairton’s acquisition of the sewer system, to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas’s Commerce and Complex Litigation Center.
Clairton Municipal Authority, James Cerqua and Doug Ozvath first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Nov. 16 versus The City of Clairton. All parties are based in Clairton.
“On Nov. 10, 2020, the City of Clairton, by and through its council and mayor, placed as new business on the meeting’s agenda the consideration of a motion approving Ordinance No. 1957,” the suit said.

The Lakemont property owner who is contesting an easement that AMED has taken for a power line the organization needed for its new headquarters building doesn’t agree the encroachment was “minimal,” as stated previously by AMED Executive Director Gary Watters.
It’s true that Penelec only added a crossbar and two wires to an existing pole on the back or alley edge of Roy Powell’s property on the 800 block of Shand Avenue, so the company could bring three-phase power to AMED’s new building.
PITTSBURGH – The City of Clairton has filed preliminary objections to a lawsuit brought by a Clairton municipal service provider and two borough citizens regarding its acquisition of the sewer system, alleging its claims have been insufficiently pled.
