A Weissport council member said some serious water drainage issues exist in the town - especially along Bridge Street - and there's nothing the borough can do about it.

Arland Moyer said Bridge Street is a state road so he feels PennDOT should be involved in remedying the problem there.He suggested that a meeting be set up with PennDOT and state Rep. Doyle Heffley regarding the matter.Mayor Jonathan Troutman said when Bridge Street was rebuilt, there was a crown built in the middle. "Because of the crown of the highway, it drains onto your property," he said. "We're stuck with it."Moyer said the borough doesn't have the funds to make the repairs and it doesn't appear any grant money is available."We definitely need some kind of help," he said.He said he will contact Heffley to discuss the problem.In other business• Councilman Greg May offered a letter of resignation from council.
