Union City approves $5,000 repair to reconnect storm sewer in Municipal Lot No. 1
Summary
Council accepted Mansfield's $5,000 quote to repair and reconnect pipe at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot No. 1, with the borough supplying pipe and fittings (budgeted at $5,000); motion carried unanimously.
Union City Borough Council voted to accept a $5,000 bid from Mansfield to repair and reconnect piping at a sinkhole in Municipal Lot No. 1, with the borough providing pipe and fittings at an expected cost of $5,000.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips briefed council on options and repairs; he reported crews placed 400 gallons of dye into a storm drain near Hogan’s Alley and that dye was appearing in sanitary lines serving Municipal Lot No. 1. He said camera inspections are being scheduled, and Riley suggested running cameras farther upstream toward the Salvation Army to determine the pipe condition.
Councilor James Kerns moved to accept Mansfield’s $5,000 quote; Councilor Steadman seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The motion specified the borough would supply the pipe and fittings, and that the work would proceed pending no other problems.
Why it matters: The repair seeks to address a sinkhole and potential stormwater–sanitary connection that could affect municipal parking facilities and underground utilities. Council approved the work at the stated price and directed staff to proceed under the stated conditions.
No further public comment or amendments to the motion were recorded at the meeting.
