Glassport council receives updates on sewage projects, televising contract and tank removal
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting Glassport Borough Council heard that an underground storage tank at the Public Works garage has been removed and that a contractor is televising 22 miles of sewer for $290,400; bids for a channeling-wall replacement will be opened Oct. 18 and an award is planned Nov. 19.
Glassport Borough Council on Oct. 15 received a multi-part update on the borough’s wastewater infrastructure that included removal of an underground storage tank, ongoing sewer-condition televising and near-completion of diffuser replacement work.
President Anthony Colecchi read the Public Works report prepared by Vice President Mark Stecak, saying crews completed removal of an underground storage tank at the Public Works garage and that the borough is waiting on soil-sample results to determine whether the site requires remediation. Council was not given a remediation cost estimate at the meeting.
The report said contractor Edge AI is televising 22 miles of borough sewers and has encountered access issues at certain manholes and a roughly 10-foot crushed sewer segment. The televising contract cost was listed as $290,400. Council was told bids for replacement of the channeling wall at the wastewater treatment plant were advertised in the Mon Valley Independent, with bid opening scheduled for Oct. 18 and an award planned for the Nov. 19 council meeting.
Council was also told the diffuser replacement project at the sewage plant is nearly complete and that the bypass for the aeration tank proceeded without incident. Officials said the updates are part of the borough’s long-term control plan for sewer infrastructure, but they did not provide a timetable for full project completion.
Next steps identified at the meeting include reviewing the soil-sample results and opening and evaluating bids on Oct. 18; council plans to consider the contract award at its Nov. 19 meeting.
