CRANBERRY TWP — Yet another community will help push forward an effort to stem the tide of flooding in the county’s southwest tier.

Cranberry Township supervisors on Thursday committed $2,000 toward a study examining how best to implement changes aimed at keeping flooding to a minimum.

In doing so, Cranberry joins a growing list of municipalities taking this next step, after 10 communities and Butler County commissioned a study examining the problem areas for stormwater in the southern section of the county.

Cranberry’s contribution, along with those other municipalities originally part of the group in the Lower Connoquenessing watershed, will help fund another study as to the best ways to move forward with the recommendations on how to stem flooding provided by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, an engineering firm which performed the original examination.
