MONROEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is about to be the proud owner of a swimming pool. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the turnpike has agreed to pay the town of Monroeville nearly $1 million for its public swimming pool at Bel-Aire park. Motorists won’t be able to take a refreshing dip, though. The turnpike is planning a major widening project on Interstate 76 between the Irwin and Monroeville exchanges, and the pool will need to go. Monroeville Council approved the sale last month.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvanians living downstream may not often think about what could happen if something goes wrong with one of its many dams, but threats to life and property line the state’s 86,000 miles of streams and rivers. The state regulates nearly 3,400 Pennsylvania dams, of which about 740 are deemed “high hazard,” meaning a structural failure is likely to lead to loss of human life. State officials’ greatest concerns are focused on 145 high-hazard dams that are in poor or unsatisfactory condition.
