TRESCKOW — The village is on a boil water advisory indefinitely because a new water line is being connected.
The water line to Tresckow is being relocated because of the anticipated backfilling of a 298-acre strip pit near the village of Beaver Brook.
The old line was only 6 inches below the ground and officials feared it would be endangered by the reclamation project.
Municipal Authority — which provides water to Tresckow, as well as McAdoo and Kline — said the boil advisory is necessary because of the potential of bacteria in the new water line.
“We need to get two good, back-to-back samples, two days in a row, before we can lift the boil advisory,” DeBalko said.
The advisory will remain in effect until further notice, DeBalko said.
The authority advised residents of the boil advisory during a mass telephone call made Monday around 1 p.m. “They (crews) made most of the connections today (Monday),” DeBalko said.
They should be done (today).” Banks Twp.
Supervisor Joe Clark said crews have been working across the street from his home to connect the new line.

Staff report
The Youngstown Water Department has announced today the boil alert issued Friday for parts of the city’s West Side and the east side of Austintown Township has been liefted.
On Friday, the water department experienced a water depressurization event due to a disruption of a major distribution water line.
The water service has been restored and microbiological drinking water samples have been taken and found to be noncontaminated.
The drinking water is now considered to be safe.

Recognizing this progress and applying criteria explained below, a blue-ribbon panel created by Mayor Bill Peduto recommended that PWSA remain a public authority but with a thorough reorganization and crucial change in governance.
We are at a crossroads, as the mayor and city council consider our proposed changes.
While the panel did not receive such a proposal, which reportedly never got to the point of negotiation, we were aware of this option, as well as other options that could put the water system into the hands of a private company.
Privatization is a legitimate option and was considered.
Private companies tend to be more efficient than public agencies providing the same service; the discipline of the market and the competition it brings demand it.
A study by Food & Water Watch, a nonprofit that opposes privatization, compiled water rates of the 500 largest community water systems in the country and found that, on average, privately owned water utility service costs households 59 percent more than public water service.
When the panel conducted an analysis of the options, we decided from the perspective of the public PWSA serves that, after public health and safety, there are four criteria of overarching importance for the future success of the water system: independence from political control, public accountability, public trust, and a governance and management structure to make improvements durable.
The panel’s recommendation is to keep PWSA public, build on the progress that’s been made during the past year, remove operational barriers to continued improvement and change the authority’s governance so that it has a board of directors free of political influence and focused solely on creating a world-class water and sewer utility committed to providing safe drinking water at affordable rates for the citizens of Pittsburgh and surrounding communities.
Now is the time to summon the political will to make these long-overdue changes in the way PWSA is governed and operated.
We believe this is the best course of action for PWSA, its customers and the city, and we urge the mayor and Pittsburgh City Council to pursue this path.

In its boil alert notification, the Youngstown Water Department said it would notifiy affected costumers as soon as possible when the water has been tested and is considered safe.
A roiling boil for one minute is adequate to make the water safe.
