We recently received this letter from the township and would like to pass it along to others. It discusses the situation with the sewer and the work that will be performed on/around County Line Road:

Dear Resident/Business Owner:

We wish to take this opportunity to inform you of pending work the Township of Haverford will be undertaking in the near future on County Line Road.

Over the past several years the Township has experienced numerous problems and blockages with the sanitary sewer servicing the Haverford Township residents and businesses on the east side of the street. An investigation of the situation revealed significant deterioration of the existing main which is contributing to blockages. In order to best resolve this situation, the Township must replace the existing sewer main. This replacement will be necessary between Biddle Street and Loraine Street. The work will involve both the replacement of the existing main on the east side of the street and the service connections for each property in Haverford Township to the right-of-way line. No work will be done on the west side of the street within Lower Merion Township.

We at SABA are a big fan of the Flickr photo sharing service. It's fast, it's cool, and most importantly, it's free to use. We encourage all of our members to upload photos that they take at community events there.

Including photos in your blog posts is easy, and I'm going to show you how to do it.
