Dormont Council to Vote on Unspecified Stormwater Measures | The Locally Times
Dormont Council will vote on stormwater in two special meetings, but public records for the Feb. 18 and March 18 sessions lack agendas or cost details.
The Dormont Borough Council has scheduled two special voting meetings dedicated to stormwater management. to 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. A second meeting with the same title and purpose is scheduled for March 18, 2026. The records do not specify what ordinances, contracts, or financial allocations will be presented for a vote. This absence of information leaves the potential cost to taxpayers and the direct impact on residents and property owners undefined in the public record ahead of the first meeting. According to a borough announcement, the ordinance updates the municipal zoning code. Zoning ordinances govern how property can be used, including setting standards for new construction and redevelopment. These standards often include requirements for managing stormwater runoff, such as mandating green infrastructure or limiting impervious surfaces like parking lots and pavement. Public documents do not explicitly connect the approval of Ordinance 1657 with the business of the upcoming stormwater meetings, though the zoning update precedes the first scheduled stormwater vote. ## Regional Authorities Also Tackle Water Infrastructure Dormont’s focus on water management occurs as other regional bodies address infrastructure. The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) held its monthly board meeting on February 27 and a community design workshop for a hillside safety project at the Highland Reservoir on February 28. Earlier in the month, ALCOSAN, the regional wastewater authority, held a Biosolids Committee Meeting on February 20 and was recognized with a National Environmental Achievement Award on February 13. Additionally, a February 13 memo from the South Hills Area Council of Governments (SHACOG) Purchasing Alliance, posted on the borough’s website, addresses delivery delays for rock salt from supplier Compass Minerals. The issue affects multiple municipalities in the consortium.
