Township reports paving complete, schedules pipe replacements on Swamp Church and Mechanic Street

During the Aug. 18 meeting Roadmaster Tom Showalter reported that paving performed by Yellow Mountain and Forest Paving is complete and crews will back up pavement edges after the asphalt hardens. Showalter also outlined routine maintenance: shoulder mowing, equipment servicing and basin work at the sewer plant.

Showalter identified two failing pipes: one on Swamp Church Road slated for replacement with an 18‑inch concrete elliptical pipe, and another on Mechanic Street that needs replacement "within the next few weeks." The roadmaster also noted review of the Blainsport Road and Windy Mansion Road sewer extension (manholes proposed in the center of the road) and said Creamery Road guiderail replacement was discussed. The board recorded these items in the minutes and accepted the roadmaster's report.
