State Sanitary Board Weighs Canal Health Impact
The Pennsylvania Sanitary Water Board met in Pittsburgh to discuss opposition to a proposed 35 mile canal from the Ohio river to Struthers. Officials warned the project would be a health threat, calling it an open stagnant sewer, urging pressure on Ohio to implement water purification.
