Sewer dip on 7 Oaks affects about 15'20 homes; borough plans camera inspection and design work
Summary
Manager reported a dip in a sewer line on 7 Oaks causing backups for roughly 15'20 residents; borough crews will camera the line, perform elevations and develop a repair design.
Borough staff told council that a dip in a sewer line along 7 Oaks is causing backups for residents and that maps and initial field work are underway.
The manager said crews have mapped the line and identified a dip affecting about 80 feet of mainline and "probably 15, 20 residents" along that stretch. Residents were notified of the problem. The next step, staff said, is to send a camera down the line, have JP perform elevations and develop a design before a field meeting to determine repairs.
Staff described outreach plans: inspectors will continue notifying affected residents and the borough plans a follow-up meeting in the spring to update homeowners and to coordinate construction activity and staging near affected properties.
Ending
Staff and engineers will complete camera inspection and design work and then report back with recommended repairs and scheduling; council received the update and no formal vote was taken at the caucus.
