Township reviews May power outage and water-authority problems; staff reports limited complaints
Summary
Meeting discussion covered a May power outage that left some areas dark but saw stop-light generators deployed; staff said the water authority is flushing lines after service problems and that some residents remain upset about outages in Beaver County and Noble.
Board members reviewed the township response to a May power outage and subsequent water-service problems. Staff said the generators that were deployed for stop lights were appreciated by residents and that the township received relatively few direct complaints about outage response.
On water issues, staff said they had fielded calls from residents and contacted the water authority and the state representative’s office (Dinda was mentioned). "They're just flushing the lines trying to get it back," the staff member said, describing the authority's response. Staff noted the authority has many lines in Beaver County and referred to media reports that Noble was served by the authority.
Police Chief declined to add anything to the report, and the board moved on to other department updates. Staff advised residents that the water authority's flushing was ongoing and that the township had tried to assist residents by passing information to the authority and state representatives.
Next steps: staff will continue to liaise with the water authority and report any substantive updates at future meetings.
