Update as of March 21 5:30 pm Boil Advisory

Update as of March 21 5:30 pm Boil Advisory 

According to PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) guidelines, water samples must be collected to test for bacteria in the distribution system. The first samples are taken on the day when the issue (e.g. main break) has been corrected, and then another set of samples are taken in the next 24 hours. Two consecutive days of "clean" test results are required before DEP will allow the advisory to be lifted. (The process takes 24 hours for test results to come back from the laboratory, so final lab results to lift an advisory can take several days after the event.)

According to AWA General Manager Mike Dominick, "All good with yesterday's samples. Tomorrow around the same time (noon) we should get results on samples we dropped off today. "

"If those are clear (we have no reason to think they won't be), then I believe DEP will lift the boil advisory."

Dominic added that they are hoping to get the results at noon Thursday.   The DEP will see results shortly thereafter  and then  will end or continue to boil advisory.   Notice will be sent out to all media outlets to alert the public when boil is lifted.

​The Harmony Twp Board of Commissioners would like to thank Jeff Allen(tree) and the whole Ambridge Water Authority, for their remarkable ability to fix the water in a very timely fashion. The break was located in an almost unattainable area. Their efforts are commendable. 

We would also like to thank Creekside Springs for giving what water they could for our residents. However, their supply was already depleted. Through the efforts of Phil and Jared Safran from Shop and Save, we were able to get a tractor-trailer load from Pepsi on Monday delivered to our fire department. Another load was delivered to Shop and Save Tuesday. 

Over 2 thousand cases of water were distributed to our residents, by our volunteer fire department, road dept, and new township manager Bob Villella. Some were even delivered by our police department to residents unable to leave their homes.

I apologize if I've omitted anyone in this event, but know, that everyone's hard work is what makes Harmony Twp. and its residents the community to be proud to live and serve in.

The Ambridge Water Authority has issued a boil water advisory for the Ambridge Borough and Harmony Township Monday afternoon after a meeting with DEP following Sunday's water main break.

Boil advisory does not affect the other areas that receive their water from AWA.


​According to Mike Dominick, Ambridge Water Authority General Manager "AWA has had the entire crew out since Sunday morning. We will not leave until fixed.   However, even once fixed, DEP requires 2 days of testing before the boil can be lifted."

Water buffaloes are located in the back of the Ambridge Borough building, and at Harmony Township borough building for those in need of water. All are to bring containers to the buildings to get water. Water from the Buffaloes needs to be boiled to use.
​

Creek Side Springs donated bottled water for drinking. The bottled drinkable water is located at the Ambridge Borough building.

There is not a charge for this service and no identification is necessary.

SW PA Region Grows More Industrial

3/19/2018

Article Submitted By: ReImagine Beaver County 

Shell Pipeline Company recently applied to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to build the 97-mile Falcon pipeline to feed the Shell petrochemical plant. In Beaver County this pipeline will travel through the watershed of the Ambridge Reservoir. Pipeline construction puts private and public water sources at risk. Two other Pennsylvania pipeline projects have been shut down because of construction permit violations, many cases of water contamination and safety issues. 
 
While you may not live in the specific region where this pipeline is being built, the whole SW PA area will experience continued challenges to air and water quality, community safety, and long term economic prosperity as a petrochemical hub is developed.
 
Yes, there will be jobs, but do these jobs come at too high of a cost? Right now, thousands of concerned citizens, including volunteers and people like yourself, are working to protect this region. We do have job-growth alternatives in less destructive industries.
 
 
To learn more, come to a meeting offered by Citizens to Protect the Ambridge Reservoir (CPAR). Take this opportunity to discuss how local government can better protect our communities, our water and our health.
The Shell Falcon Pipeline:  Keeping Our Water and Our Communities Safe
March 27, 2018 from 7 to 9 p.m.
First United Methodist Church of Aliquippa, 2816 Broadhead Road, Aliquippa 15001
 
Speakers:  Rosemary Stewart of CPAR, Lisa Graves-Marcucci of Environmental Integrity Project, and
Dr. John Stolz of Duquesne University’s Center for Environmental Research and Education
 
Additionally, to gather information and hear residents’ concerns, the Department of Environmental Protection will hold local public hearings. They are:
Beaver County: April 3, 6:30-8:30 pm, Central Valley High School Auditorium, 160 Baker Road Ext., Monaca
Allegheny County: April 5, 6:30-8:30 pm, Quaker Valley Middle School Auditorium, 618 Harbaugh St, Sewickley
