Council hears sewage-plant and sewer-line updates; televising of 22 miles of sewers underway at $290,400
Summary
Council received updates on sewer work: Edge AI is televising 22 miles of sewer at a reported cost of $290,400 but is encountering manhole access issues and a 10-foot crushed pipe; bids for a channeling wall replacement will open Oct. 18 with award planned Nov. 19, and diffuser replacement at the treatment plant is nearly complete.
Councilman Angelo Norelli reported on delinquent-tax and sewage-collection totals and provided several operational updates to Glassport Borough Council on Oct. 15.
Norelli relayed collection figures from MBM Collections for September: $15,990.77 (real-estate collections) and year-to-date real-estate collections of $196,375.09. He also reported delinquent sewage collections for September of $77,849.50 (year-to-date $334,005.44).
On public works, President Anthony Colecchi read a report on behalf of Council Vice President Mark Stecak saying removal of an underground storage tank at the Public Works Garage is complete and that the borough is awaiting soil-sampling results to determine whether remediation is required. The borough advertised replacement of the channeling wall at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (ad ran Sept. 25); bids will be opened Oct. 18 in council chambers and the project is planned to be awarded Nov. 19.
Officials reported that Edge AI is televising roughly 22 miles of sewer lines in the borough. The contractor has found a 10-foot section of crushed sewer and has had trouble accessing some manholes; borough public-works staff are working to address access. The televising project cost was recorded in the minutes as $290,400. Council also heard that a diffuser replacement project at the sewage plant is nearly complete and that the bypass for the aeration tank operated without issue.
Council did not vote on the channeling-wall project at the Oct. 15 meeting; bids are scheduled to be opened on Oct. 18 and the award is planned for the Nov. 19 meeting.
