During a recent government meeting, residents raised significant concerns regarding water supply and geological stability in Monroeville, highlighting the challenges posed by rapid population growth and new housing developments.

One resident, reflecting on the unprecedented water restrictions experienced last year, questioned how the increasing population would be supported with adequate water supply. He pointed to the strain on resources caused by neighboring Penn Township's extensive housing developments, attributing the water restrictions to the influx of new residents.

Another resident, Ron Capuccio, expressed specific worries about the impact of nearby mining operations on his property. He presented visual evidence of the mines in relation to his home, questioning the safety measures being implemented as developers plan to inject grout into the mines to support new construction. Capuccio raised concerns about potential subsidence and the accountability of developers should issues arise, emphasizing the need for clear communication and responsibility regarding the safety of existing homes.

The discussions underscored the urgent need for local authorities to address infrastructure challenges as Monroeville continues to grow, ensuring that both water supply and geological safety are prioritized in future planning efforts.
