Union City plans repairs, smoke test after sinkholes at Municipal Lot #1
Summary
Council heard that sinkholes in Municipal Lot #1 will be addressed by filling a sinkhole, replacing roughly 10 feet of pipe and installing a new catch basin; Mansfield will perform the work and a smoke-and-dye test is planned before final paving quotes are accepted.
Council President Riley Cross and Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips told the Union City Borough Council on Sept. 16 that Municipal Lot #1 has sinkhole damage requiring immediate repairs. Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips said Mansfield will fill the sinkhole, replace approximately 10 feet of pipe and install a new catch basin before smoke-and-dye testing is scheduled.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells said the borough is awaiting quotes from JT Patching and Paving and Cross Paving to repave the affected area and the catch-basin area in Municipal Lot #2. Businesses in the area and the Union City Volunteer Fire Department will be notified before smoke testing begins, Phillips said. The council did not take additional action beyond approving routine motions related to operations at the meeting.
