Borough says engineering errors complicated Sycamore water replacement project
Summary
Borough Manager Thomas Day told council that engineering firm Pennoni mislocated water-line records, causing the replacement pipes on Sycamore to run between homes rather than along their recorded alignment, complicating the project.
Borough Manager Thomas Day reported at the Nov. 12 meeting that engineering errors have affected the borough's water replacement work on Sycamore. Day said Pennoni "made errors in the water lines being properly substantiated and should have found that they were not even close to where they were established," and that as a result some new pipes are running between homes rather than in the recorded locations.
Day indicated the misplacement has created issues for the current water project; he did not provide a revised completion date. The minutes show the borough is addressing the problem with contractor operations but do not record specific remediation steps or budgetary impacts during the Nov. 12 meeting.
