Union City seeks up to $100,000 in CDBG funds to repair Municipal Lot #1 stormwater system
Summary
Council authorized applying for up to $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to pay part of stormwater repairs in Municipal Lot #1 and reviewed a plan to fix sinkholes and a damaged pipe there.
Union City Borough Council voted Sept. 16 to apply for up to $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to pay a portion of repairs to the stormwater system in Municipal Lot #1.
Streets Supervisor Bob Phillips told council members the borough and its consultant recommended smoke-and-dye testing to locate connections and leaks before paving. "It was recommended that we do a smoke and dye test. Mansfield will fill the sink hole and replace approximately 10’ of pipe and install the new catch basin," Phillips said. Councilors were told the borough is awaiting paving quotes from JT Patching and Paving and Cross Paving and that affected business owners and the Union City Volunteer Fire Department will be notified prior to testing.
Councilor Steadman moved to approve submitting the CDBG application; Councilor Osborn seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The measure authorizes borough staff to pursue grant funding but does not by itself commit the borough to complete work until contracts and final budgets are approved.
