Lancaster City Council weighs applying for $5M grant to build secondary water line

LANCASTERONLINE
When the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped as much as 15 inches of rain on parts of Lancaster County, roads and bridges washed away. Homes were flooded and people were rescued in boats.

The September 2011 storm didn't interrupt the supply of water to Lancaster city customers, but it came perilously close. Too close for Public Works Director Charlotte Katzenmoyer.

Among the areas washed away were the banks of a stream near the city's main water supply line coming from the Susquehanna River water plant near Columbia.
