Supervisors adopt emergency resolution to repair deteriorating Canal Road culvert
Summary
Solicitor introduced resolution 2025-14 to authorize one-time emergency end-wall repairs to a culvert on Canal Road, citing deterioration and a disagreement with DCNR over ownership; the board approved authorization for the manager to proceed when needed.
The Williams Township Board of Supervisors approved resolution 2025-14 to authorize emergency end-wall repairs to a culvert on Canal Road.
Solicitor explained the culvert is deteriorating and "may cause some structural damage to the road," and said the township has a disagreement with DCNR over ownership of the culvert. For the "health, safety, and welfare of our residents," the solicitor said the township would prepare to perform the maintenance one time, while noting the township was not asserting ownership of the culvert.
Board members discussed coordinating the repair with ongoing contractor work in the area and waiting for pending punch-list items and the opening of the nearby north bridge approach. The solicitor said he placed no strict time limit on authorization and wrote the resolution so that the manager could authorize the work when appropriate.
The board moved and seconded the resolution and approved it. The motion allows the manager to authorize repairs as needed to protect the road and public safety; the transcript records discussion but does not provide a detailed timeline for construction.
