Ross Township and West View Weather Superstorm Sandy with Few Problems

While most Ross Township residents awoke to electricity in their homes, and few if any flooding problems, residents living along Little Pine Creek were dealing with a familiar and frustrating problem.

Despite several attempts by the township to correct the problem, Monday night's heavy rains caused the sewers to back up into several yards along Amity Road. 

"Again we can't use our bathrooms or run water because nothing can go out of the house," said Robert Michael, one of the homeowners. "The creek is not over the banks, yet this problem persists."

The residents acknowledge that the township has tried several solutions, including the installation of check valves and sealing some of the sewer lids, but heavy rains continue to trigger the same problem.

The problems along Little Pine Creek appear to be the most serious from Superstorm Sandy.

"We had a couple of trees down along Miller Road, but that was about it," said John Reubi, Ross Township Emergency Management Coordinator.

"We did pretty good, considering the severity of the forecast."

Girty's Run, which in the past has overflowed its banks during heavy rains, remained well within them this time.
