• Officials Meet to Prevent Future Floods

PITTSBURGH - City and county officials were to meet Monday in western Pennsylvania to try to figure out how to prevent a recurrence of the flash flooding that swamped cars in rush-hour traffic, killing two women and two children and forcing other people to clamber onto vehicle roofs or swim to safety. We'll sit down and brainstorm, without pointing fingers and casting blame and see if we can come up with some solution," said Tom Palmosina, co-director of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority about the meeting with officials of the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority.

• Sharpsburg Defends Sewage Overflow Problem Vexing Communities

With a $560,000 federal grant, officials in Sharpsburg, O'Hara and Shaler are trying to come to an agreement to fix sewage overflow problems from Ravine Street in Sharpsburg.

• Consent Decree for Sewage System Compliance Costly for Baldwin Borough

Adhering to two consent decrees mandating sewage system repairs in Baldwin Borough means borrowing money. Lots of it. Officials last week agreed to borrow $2.3 million for repairs to sewers in the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority region, which is under a consent decree from the federal Environmental Protection Agency to fix sewage systems.

• Cost of Runoff Studied in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh property owners could end up paying for the amount of rainwater that runs from their properties into the city sewer system under a proposal announced on Wednesday. The city, like all municipalities in Pennsylvania, has legal agreements with the Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Environmental Protection to reduce sewage overflows into creeks and rivers. Pittsburgh has a combined system that sends both sewage and stormwater to the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority's treatment plant at Woods Run. Reducing the amount of stormwater that enters the system is Pittsburgh's biggest sewerage problem.
