Erie wastewater data shows rise in illicit drug usage
Erie County health officials saw an early summer surge in the amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine in Erie's wastewater, indicating an increased use of the illicit drugs. Concentrations of methamphetamine rose by 25.9% in samples taken between June and August 2026 when compared to the same months of the previous year. Overall, the amount of high-risk substances rose during that period by 14.7%. "It confirms what we have been hearing, that cocaine use has been consistent and methamphetamine use is going up," said Erin Mrenak, Erie County Department of Health director. The health department has been monitoring the amount of high-risk substances like cocaine and fentanyl in Erie's wastewater since June 2024, and started publishing the data on its website in June 2026. It also published a report on the data in September. The report showed that cocaine and methamphetamine are, by far, the illicit drugs found in the highest quantities in wastewater samples. But county health officials are also concerned about the amount of fentanyl found in samples. "We are seeing fentanyl picked up in samples at low amounts, but it's so lethal that even a little fentanyl in the wastewater can be a lot," said Lauren Mathis, an

Erie mini golf course shut down in '21. Lawsuit over closure has ended
The owners of a former miniature golf course on Erie's bayfront have lost a court fight against the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority over the course's closure . After more than two years of litigation, a judge ruled that the owners presented no evidence that the Port Authority breached the lease agreement or promised to compensate them for the relocation of Harbor View Miniature Golf. The 18-hole course closed in June 2021 after operating for about 19 years on authority-owned property on the west side of State Street just north of the intersection with the Bayfront Parkway. Owners Tom and Teresa Stankiewicz never reopened the course. They sued the Port Authority in the Erie County Court of Common Pleas in June 2024 . They claimed that the Port Authority breached the Harbor View lease by failing to select other options for an access road that was built on the site of the golf course and caused it to close. The Stankiewiczes also claimed the Port Authority failed to honor a promise to pay nearly $700,000 for the relocation of the course to the authority's Liberty Park, farther west on the bayfront. The Port Authority denied the claims. Both the authority and
