Roadmaster reports paving complete, failing pipes for repair and pickleball court rough graded

Roadmaster Tom Showalter reported on routine highway and drainage work at the Aug. 18 meeting of the West Cocalico Township Board of Supervisors.

Showalter said Yellow Mountain paving by Forest Paving is complete and that crews will "back up edges after the paving has time to harden." He reviewed development and sewer‑extension plans, discussed Creamery Road bridge guiderail replacement and basin work at the sewer plant, and reported equipment servicing and shoulder mowing.

Showalter reported a failing pipe on Swamp Church Road that he said will be replaced with an "18\" concrete elliptical pipe." He also said a pipe on Mechanic Street is failing and will need replacement within the next few weeks. The road crew has rough graded a new pickleball court as part of recreational‑facility work.

These issues will require scheduled maintenance and, in the case of pipe replacements, procurement and possible temporary traffic controls during replacement work.
