Monongahela business owners who suffered from a water main break in January received a second donation Friday from the Monongahela Historical Society. Society President Laura Magone met with owners at Little City Coffee, where they each received a check for a little more than $900. Magone and historical society members raised the money through community donations. It’s the second round of donations in less than two weeks. The historical society presented each business with a $1,000 check earlier this month.
