PITTSBURGH – A wrongful termination suit from a man who claims he was fired from a water and sewer authority when he refused to dump raw sewage into the Monongahela River is the burden of the West Elizabeth Sanitary Authority, according to Union Township.
Perry Payne first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 11 versus West Elizabeth Sanitary Authority and West Elizabeth Borough, Union Township of Finleyville and the Borough of Jefferson Hills.
“Plaintiff began working for WESA in June 2013. In September 2019, WESA was in the process of trying to get a new processing treatment plant online. Around this time, the old plant was still online and it developed a processing issue. Plaintiff did everything he could to address and correct this processing issue, but it continued until about mid-January 2020,” Payne said.

The mood was light as Tami Minnier, a certified registered nurse practitioner and chief quality officer at UPMC, administered Pfizer’s BNT162b2 vaccines this morning after addressing the media. While giving the shots, she chatted with one recipient, Christian Schott, an ICU nurse at UPMC Passavant, about his new baby, and complimented Ja’Ray Gamble, a patient transporter at UPMC Mercy, on the “beautiful tattoo” covering his left upper arm.
