Millcreek Township Supervisor Kim Clear explains to Philip Ward and Mickenzie Robson why the issues happened and what number to call if you or someone you know need help.
While most people are settling in for the night, that’s not the case for some residents on Indiana Drive in Millcreek. Hours of heavy rain have caused severe flooding, with sewage and stormwater filling basements across this neighborhood.
Neighbors tell me at least ten homes have several inches of standing water mixed with sewage. Tonight, restoration crews were lined up along the street, working to pump out what they could. Around 8:30 p.m., we saw families hauling damaged furniture and even furnaces out of their homes, trying to salvage what’s left.
One resident described the scene as devastating, saying the smell is unbearable, while others said they’re leaving for the night out of concern for their health and safety.
