Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 11 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on May 1, 2024, focused entirely on the Philomena Drive Stormwater Improvements Project. The chairman called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. with four supervisors present; a fifth supervisor arrived at 5:10 p.m. The township engineer introduced a representative who presented a slide show detailing the project’s three phases. Phase 1 and Phase 1A improvements already have a PennDOT permit in place. The township engineer estimated costs and noted the board agreed to tap the Emergency Fund if the Stormwater Fund falls short. The final step before construction is obtaining temporary and permanent access easements from residents; the township manager distributed the agreements at the meeting. The Moon Area School District and PennDOT have already signed off. During public comment, residents from Philomena Drive voiced frustration over decades of flooding. A resident of a property on Philomena Drive said she hired an attorney and expects positive changes, noting she cannot sell her home due to water issues. She requested reassurance that the fire and police departments would respond if her basement floods again; the township manager said she would follow up with both chiefs. The township engineer said construction likely will not begin until fall. The meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m. on a motion by a supervisor, seconded by another supervisor, with all five supervisors voting yes.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on May 1, 2024, focused entirely on the Philomena Drive Stormwater Improvements Project.
