News:

We had another flood in Millvale, 3rd time in 3 years. This time Millvale suffered a flood twice in one month of August '07. The last one which hit us was in '04 when the remnants of hurricane Ivan passed directly over us and took forever to move out. The many residents that live in the center of town suffered the most as this is the located at the lowest point in this valley and the waters were 5ft deep. The creek, Girty's Run,  runs through the center of our town which then feeds into the Allegheny river. Below you can find related news articles, photos, video on some of the web links.
