Cranberry To Stabalize Creek Running Through Several Neighborhoods

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — The township is undertaking a stabilization project on a tributary that travels through or near the Cedarbrook, Manor Creek Farms, Glenbrook Manor, and Settlers Grove developments.

The Brush Creek tributary stream restoration project will remove 320,000 pounds of sediment from the creek once it breaks ground this spring.

Using funding from the township’s storm water rate enacted in 2020, as well as $664,000 from the Butler County Municipal Infrastructure Program, the project includes removing fallen trees and debris from the stream, as well as realigning the channel to create a more consistent flood plain by dissipating energy from flowing water.

The project will also improve the biology of the stream, enhance its aesthetic qualities and allow for better long-term maintenance of the Township’s environmental resources.

Parking is limited in a cleared gravel lot near the site.
