Council approves $5,000 sinkhole repair in Municipal Lot No. 1; borough to supply pipe fittings
Summary
Union City Borough accepted Mansfield’s $5,000 quote to repair a sinkhole and reconnect storm pipe at Municipal Lot No. 1, with the borough providing pipe and fittings; council approved the motion unanimously.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously on July 23 to accept a $5,000 quote from Mansfield to repair and reconnect pipe at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot No. 1, with the borough supplying pipe and fittings. The motion was made by Councilor James Kerns and seconded by Councilor Steadman.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips briefed the council on options for storm sewer repair and said crews had introduced 400 gallons of dye into the storm drain near Hogan’s Alley to trace where stormwater is entering sanitary lines that serve Municipal Lot No. 1. Cameras will be used to inspect the line and help identify the underlying problem; Riley suggested extending inspection toward the Salvation Army to locate the issue more completely.
Council records indicate the borough will provide the pipes and fittings (cost described as $5,000) and that acceptance of Mansfield’s lower quote is contingent on there being no other complicating issues. Timing for the repair and a project start date were not specified at the meeting.
