Millcreek couple concerned over damage from power crews costs them thousands
A Millcreek couple is raising concerns after power line maintenance has left their yard littered with fallen trees, and they're left to fix the mess.
Daniel and Joan Hall have been living in their Millcreek house for almost 30 years, and they said power line maintenance crews have dropped fallen trees in their backyard on several occasions without cleaning them up.

The couple said they've paid anywhere between $6,000 and-8,000 of their own money to fix the mess over the years.
Wednesday crews came to trim a couple of trees, resulting in damage to their shed and garden, and they said they've had enough.

'It's still a hardship for us, and you maintain your property and try to make it look nice, and then something like this happens, and it's just going to cost more money to try and make it look good again. It's discouraging,' Joan told us.
The Halls said they've tried calling both Millcreek Township and Penelec about their issues, but haven't made much progress.
