Pickets tour New Castle as water workers protest
Pickets traveled to New Castle on Ellwood Road drawing support from passersby. Pattinato said water company staff expressed sympathy and urged drivers and mail carriers not to cross the picket line while negotiations continue. The company cites a May 17, 2011 contract expiry and a June 9 wage increase as part of its offer, and denies a lockout.

Water Company to Switch to Chloramination in New Castle
The Pennsylvania American Water Co will begin chloramination in August to meet stricter EPA and PA DEP standards. The Shenango River source prompted the change to reduce disinfection byproduct levels while maintaining disinfection through pipelines. Most customers may not notice, though some might detect less chlorine taste and odor.

Township pays watchdog $102000 to settle suit
Kurt D. Toth, a self-styled township watchdog, accepted 102000 to settle a federal civil rights suit he filed against South Pymatuning Township and Officer Andreu Foriska. The deal, not admitting fault, was made to avoid litigation costs with the insurance carrier paying most of the amount.
