Donora borough’s solicitor and council members want to know more about what is going on at the Mon Valley Sewage Authority.

Officials have sought an answer to what has caused the repeated flooding to the Koontz home on Gilmore Street and have gotten varied responses.
In particular, the authority has cast some blame on the borough for allegedly not enforcing an ordinance that requires residents to disconnect downspouts from the sanitary sewer system.
