Storm Water Post

Attention:  Residents of Delmont.  The weather has been wet and rainy.  Are you having trouble with storm water runoff?  The problems of interest include:  flooding basement (or large amounts of water in basement), water accumulation on driveways and sidewalks, and large amounts of water accumulating in yards.  The Westmoreland County Conservation District is interested in accumulating data and offering assistance in correcting these problems.  Delmont and some surrounding areas have been given a priority status because of development and location.  I have joined the Integrated Water Resource Plan (IWRP) Committee.  One task is to collect the address locations of problem areas in our Borough.  Depending on the severity of the problem, or multiple complaints in one area a representative of the Westmoreland County Conservation District will visit and give ideas of how to correct your problems.  There is no cost to you for the visit and advice.  You will also be provided a copy of the 25 page booklet  Southwestern Pennsylvania’s Homeowner’s Guide to Storm water: How to develop and implement a stormwater management plan for your property.  Please provide name, address or tax plot number, and a description of the problem.  Also, indicate if you want to try to set up an appointment with the representative of Westmoreland County Conservation District.

Please send information or direct questions to Councilman David Piper. E-mail david4delmont@gmail.com.  Send to the Delmont Borough Office: 77 Greensburg St. Delmont, PA 15626.  You can call (724) 552-9531.
