Township to consider emergency repair for collapsed Mack Street sewer estimated at $69,500
Summary
Manager Amy Rockwell reported a collapsed sanitary sewer on Mack Street (between manholes 21 and 20) that poses sinkhole risks; she asked the board to vote Monday on a resolution to engage repair work estimated at $69,500.
Manager Amy Rockwell told the Board of Commissioners that a sanitary sewer between manhole 21 and manhole 20 on Mack Street has collapsed. Public Works has maintained flow temporarily, but the collapse presents a risk of sinkholes and requires emergency repairs.
Rockwell asked the board to place a resolution on the next meeting’s agenda for Monday to authorize a contract to repair the line at an estimated cost of $69,500. No contract was authorized at the Aug. 20 meeting; the board will consider a formal resolution and vote on Monday.
The repair would be handled as an emergency action to mitigate the risk of sinkholes and to restore long-term sewer integrity. Manager Rockwell did not identify a contractor nor provide a firm contract figure; the $69,500 figure was given as an estimate at the meeting.
