Please help our neighbors in need UPDATED 6/27/18

The flood from last week hit home. The woman who was swept away by flood waters was a friend of the family. The kind women from Upper St. Clair have gotten together to help out the Abbott family, offering to do errands and cook meals. Restaurants are offering free meals to flood victims.




An update from Bridgeville Manager was posted on the Bridgeville Police Department Facebook page.



I reached out to the Bridgeville police department and got this response. "First United Methodist Church in Bridgeville is the central point for donations other than food (which would go to Bethany Presby). We also have people going directly to the major affected areas of Baldwin St, McLaughlin Run Rd, Railroad St and Maple St and Laurel St. Thanks again. Every bit is appreciated."

What is Mt. Lebanon doing? Mt. Lebanon Magazine is asking for help. They want photos of flood damage. Why should I expect anything else?

Cedar flooded again

Sure glad we put the toxic turf in. Gateway assured us that it never floods there.


If only Mt. Lebanon had some sort of alert system, to let residents know that Cedar Blvd. is flooded. It could be called LeboAlert.

Want to know about flooding in Mt. Lebanon?

A few people have asked me how to find archived Lebo Citizens posts about flooding in Mt. Lebanon. There is a small search box located in the upper left hand corner of Lebo Citizens. By entering the word "flooding" in the search box, these articles pop up. http://lebocitizens.blogspot.com/search?q=Flooding

Hope that helps, Folks.

Cedar Blvd. Closed Due to Flooding UPDATED

I was notified around 10:00 AM this morning that Cedar Blvd. is closed due to flooding.

Yesterday was the targeted date for construction to begin on the "Field Enhancement Project" a.k.a. turfing Middle and Wildcat Fields.

It was reported on Facebook that people are marooned at the Rec Center due to Cedar Blvd. flooding.

Stormy Sunday causes flooding, other damage throughout viewing area 

Update August 6, 2014 4:01 PM Through a Right To Know, read what Tim White says about water run-off. He wants something to appease the ESB people and diffuse Kelly F.



Keep in mind, Gateway Engineers lists right on the bid documents that "No Wetlands Exist on Site" and "Site is not in the 100 year floodplain." Maybe this is part of the problem of flooding on Cedar.

Attention [Cedar Blvd.Residents] Flood Victims

A new law allows property ownsers to stave off potential floods without municipal authorities. Senate Bill 1255, which passed in May, allows property owners to implement stormwater management practices to stem the flow of runoff and the debris often carried in it. Communities such as Scott Township and Upper St. Clair have recently looked to their local governments for help, but have been tied up with months-long investigations--leading any potential solution to come next summer storm season.

Stormwater law frees homeowners to build infrastructure

Update May29, 2014 10:12 AM Please be aware that the official Pittsburgh rainfall for Tuesday 5/27/14 (I believe from 12:01 AM - 12:00 Midnight) was only 0.02 inches, and for Wednesday, 5/28/2014 it was only 1.38 inches, or a total of only 1.40 inches according to AccuWeather.com and the Tribune-Review. This is even below the 2-Year Storm Frequency standard of 2.3 inches of rainfall in a 24 hour period.

Mt. Lebanon's SALDO Section 809.4.6 requires that Municipal stormwater sewer systems be designed to handle the peak runoff from a 25-Year storm, or 4.4 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period. Please read and become familiar with SALDO Part 8 Design Standards, Section 809 Stormwater Conveyance and Management, and Section 810 Storm Sewers and Drainage Facilities and all sub-sections. We're obviously failing to comply with our own Ordinances.

SALDO is Chapter XVI of the Mt. Lebanon Code, and has a direct link on the Public Documents page of the Municipal website. Or click here and start on page 75 of the pdf.

Update June 1, 2014 9:10 AM This was in the Trib last summer. Southmoreland tackles flood-damaged turf
Sean Stipp | Tribune-Review
Roughly one-third of the artificial turf at Russ Grimm Field at Southmoreland Senior High School was pushed into ripples by the force of flood waters.
