Maple Avenue sewer work begins; Goose Creek substation nearly complete, officials say
Summary
Committee members were told the Goose Creek Electrical Substation is 99% complete and that Maple Avenue construction materials had been delivered; staff said the project was slated to start July 6 and borough personnel later confirmed crews began work a day later due to weather.
Sean Mitchell and borough staff updated the West Chester Public Works Committee on wastewater capital projects, reporting that the Goose Creek Electrical Substation is 99% complete and that the Maple Avenue project has moved from procurement to active construction.
Why it matters: The substation and the Maple Avenue sewer work are borough capital projects that affect alley access, private hauler routes and resident notifications. Progress and start dates determine traffic and access alerts for nearby residents and businesses.
Committee members were told construction supplies for Maple Avenue had been delivered and the chair said construction was scheduled to begin Monday, July 6. Borough manager Sean Metrick later told the committee crews started a day later because of weather: “It started today,” he said. Staff said private truck haulers had been notified of alley closures and that the borough website and alert systems had been updated.
The Goose Creek Electrical Substation was described as 99% complete pending punch-list items that must be closed out before final completion. Committee members also heard that bids for a Taylor Run driveway replacement would come back to the borough for award at the August meeting with a projected 2026 completion timeline.
The committee did not take a formal vote on these capital items; staff will continue to provide schedule updates and notify residents about closures and service impacts as work proceeds.
