SEVEN FIELDS — Yet another municipality has joined an effort aimed at reducing the impact of flooding in the lower Connoquenessing watershed.

Seven Fields Borough Council on Monday approved a resolution to join a coalition of municipalities in southwestern Butler County looking at the best ways to implement stormwater mitigation efforts suggested last year by an engineering firm.

The group, which includes 10 municipalities, previously agreed to a study by the firm Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, in which the firm examined hot spots of flooding in the communities and suggested changes that may help stem the tide of flooding.

In addition to Seven Fields, the coalition includes Adams, Cranberry, Forward, Jackson, Lancaster and Penn townships as well as Evans City, Harmony and Zelienople.
