Water Flow Issues Plague Elkhorn Crozer Bottom Homes
Crozer neighborhood residents, led by Lambert, report a water stream from a wall near their properties flowing into Elkhorn Creek. Decades-old sewage lines have degraded, with about a dozen homes in the immediate area and roughly 150 served by Elkhorn Post Office. Public water is provided by Elkhorn Public Service, with Lambert paying at least $16.14 monthly for roughly 3,000 gallons. Norfolk Southern had kept the branch open but stopped cleaning it, while state highway crews did some clearing with a backhoe. Lambert calls the situation unprecedented and worsening.
