Officials discuss delaying Kessel tile reconstruction amid cost concerns
Summary
Staff updated the committee on Kessel tile work in Bethlehem Township and estimated remaining work could cost roughly $30,000 for the outstanding section; members discussed waiting to allow recovery and concerns about cost-sharing among landowners.
Staff recounted prior work on the Kessel tile in Bethlehem Township—roughly 3,000 feet installed previously—and said an outstanding 900-foot segment remains uncompleted. The remaining work involves 18-inch pipe and would affect an estimated 300–375 acres in the watershed; staff estimated a per-acre cost near $30, suggesting the outstanding segment would amount to about $30,000. “It's gonna be about $30 an acre. So let's just say there's thousand foot, it'd be $30,000,” the staff member said.
Board members discussed whether to proceed immediately or delay reconstruction to allow the area to heal after recent work; some landowners have varying willingness to pay. No definitive decision was reached and staff said they would wait for the landowner to be present for further discussion if needed.
