Union City approves $5,000 storm‑sewer repair in Municipal Lot #1; borough to supply pipe
Summary
Council accepted Mansfield’s $5,000 quote to repair storm‑sewer piping at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot #1 and agreed the borough will supply pipe and fittings (recorded at $5,000).
Union City Borough Council voted July 23 to accept a $5,000 quote from Mansfield to repair and reconnect piping at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot #1. The borough agreed to provide the necessary pipe and fittings, recorded in the minutes as costing $5,000.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips reported options and quotes for addressing the sinkhole and related storm‑sewer damage. He noted staff had placed 400 gallons of dye into a storm drain near Hogan’s Alley and that the dye is getting into sanitary lines that serve Municipal Lot #1; the borough arranged camera inspection of the line to locate the problem. A person identified as Riley (role not recorded in the minutes) suggested running the camera toward the Salvation Army to inspect the line further.
Councilor Kerns moved to accept Mansfield’s quote and Councilor Steadman seconded; the motion carried unanimously (5–0; Councilor Joyce absent). The minutes do not specify whether the borough will use capital reserves, the operating budget, insurance, or another funding source for the repairs.
