Authority considers North Blainsport Road sewer extension options, eyes $210,400 in added costs

The West Cocalico Township Authority discussed additional options and associated costs for the North Blainsport Road sewer extension during its Aug. 11 meeting. HRG presented a package that includes a manhole terminal and intermediate cleanouts with an estimated cost of $156,000 and a separate 250-foot extension estimated at $54,400.

Board members indicated interest in both elements; together HRG estimated the options would add roughly $210,400 to the project budget. The board asked for further refinement of pricing and did not take a binding vote on funding at the meeting.

Dan Becker of HRG presented the cost breakdown as part of the sewer engineer’s report and requested direction on whether to include the additional cleanouts and the 250-foot extension in the final design. No formal motion or appropriation for the added amounts was recorded in the minutes.
