Yesterday on Facebook:
If you have a flood or other serious storm related damage to your Mt. Lebanon home or business, please give the Public Works Department a call right away at 412.343.3403 for help in assessing what happened. The longer you wait, the harder it is for them to piece together the sequence of events. Obviously, if you are having an immediate emergency, call 9-1-1. Thanks for helping them to help you.
Later on Facebook and in a LeboALERT:
The U.S. Small Business Association has opened an outreach center at the Allegheny County airport to serve residents and business owners who would like to apply for low interest loans to repair damage from the recent severe storms. For specific information, visit www.mtlebanon.orgunder "news and announcements" at the bottom of the homepage.
I am still collecting names of streets where there were flooding issues. There is a list on the sidebar. Don't do what we did and repair the damage, only to have it happen again. Make sure the problem is corrected. Contact the commission at commission@mtlebanon.org and contact Tom Kelley, Public Works at tkelley@mtlebanon.org.
The municipality is collecting a storm water fee from residents and tax-exempt organizations. To read more about Mt. Lebanon's storm water fee, visit Storm Sewers Budget and the Approved Ordinance. Not only does the municipality collect a storm water fee, they are also considering spending $700,000 to turf a school district fee. I am hoping they do the right thing and help residents who had storm related damage to their homes.
