DUMPING NEAR STREAMS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO FLOODING

Periodically, storms of significant magnitude will occur in the region that will cause isolated flooding in the Township. The type of flooding typically observed involves basement and garage flooding as well as yard/landscape damage. Following investigation, Township Staff has noted that some flooding problems are caused by debris in nearby streams that wash down and block storm drains/pipes. The debris noted by Township Staff has been everything from grass clippings, building materials, vases/flower pots, tires, landscaping timbers, cut branches, logs, and leaves. It is important to remember if you live along a stream or adjacent to a stormwater management facility to make sure both the channel and banks are clear and not to use it as a dumping area for materials that will wash down stream and cause problems for both you and your neighbors. In addition, to reduce the risk of water damage, there are some preventive measures that property owners can take by making sure your property is graded so that water drains away from your home and to make sure any existing yard drains are not blocked by leaves and grass clippings.

Peters Township budgets approximately $300,000 annually for storm sewer and stormwater management projects and is committed to maintaining and upgrading the municipal, public system. However, to reduce the incidents of flooding, private property owners must do their part as well by keeping nearby watercourses clear of debris.

POLLINATOR GARDEN PLANTED AT ELM GROVE PARK

On May 21, 2020, a pollinator garden was planted at Elm Grove Park by a group of volunteers coordinated by California University of Pennsylvania. The idea for the garden came from the Environmental Quality Board.

The planting of the garden is in conjunction with Project Wingspan, whose mission is to increase the quality, quantity, and connectively of pollinator habitat to support imperiled native pollinators and the vital habitat the depend on.
