Emsworth Council member David Heflin warned borough officials at their meeting Wednesday that they are facing another erosion problem along the Lowries Run Creek bank.

Several years ago the borough stabilized a large portion of the bank with large chunks of concrete. Now, however, erosion on an adjacent section of the bank has nearly exposed the end of a guardrail, Heflin said.

"That last post is almost hanging free," he reported.

Officials planned to see if the borough could obtain concrete slag from an area construction project, possibly even the nearby reconstruction of the Emsworth bridge along Route 65 that crosses Lowries Run.
