Roadmaster reports Yellow Mountain paving done; failing pipes on Swamp Church and Mechanic Street slated for replacement

Roadmaster Tom Showalter told the board that paving by Yellow Mountain and Forest Paving is complete and that the crew will need to back up edges after the pavement hardens. He reported basin work at the sewer plant and service and shoulder mowing of township roads.

Showalter identified two failing pipes that require replacement: a pipe on Swamp Church Road will be replaced with an 18-inch concrete elliptical pipe, and a failing pipe on Mechanic Street will need replacement within the next few weeks. The board recorded these repairs as operational priorities for the roadcrew. The report also noted that manholes for a Blainsport Road and Windy Mansion Road sewer extension can be placed in the center of the road, and that the Creamery Road bridge guiderail replacement was discussed as an upcoming project.
