[CALL TO ORDER]
CALL THE OFTEN MARKED UPPER PROVIDENCE TOWNSHIP MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY MEETING TO ORDER.UM, I JUST FOUND OUT THAT, UH, DENNY HEIDRICK MAY NOT MAKE THE MEETING TONIGHT, SO WE WILL GET GOING.
AND IF HE JOINS US GOOD, IF HE'S NOT ABLE TO, UM, STILL MISS IT, UH, WE WILL START
[INTRODUCTIONS]
WITH INTRODUCTIONS.AND, UM, I'D LIKE TO ALSO WELCOME A NEW MEMBER WHO WILL INTRODUCE HERSELF IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT LET'S START OVER HERE WITH JOE JOE BRESNAN SOLICITOR BILL CASPER, MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY MEMBER CAN USE MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY.
ALBERT'S MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY, UM, CALIFORNIA STEPHENS, MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY.
GLAD TO HAVE YOU, UH, SUE, APPARENTLY YOU HAD TO RESIGN APPARENTLY THAT YOU'D MOVED, MOVED AWAY SUDDENLY AND, UM, OR SUPERVISOR ALREADY REPLACED HER WITH KELLY.
SO WELCOME ABOARD EMPTY PERMIT TOWNSHIP MANAGER, MICHAEL COINED GILMORE AND ASSOCIATES TOWNSHIP ENGINEER.
DON BROUGHT UP PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, DON KELLY PUBLIC WORKS.
THAT'D BE CORNELL, SUN PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATOR.
DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A COPY OF THE AGENDA? OKAY.
[1. Approve June 2, 2022 Municipal Authority Agenda]
THE NEXT ITEM IS THEN IS TO APPROVE THE, UH, MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY AGENDA.UH, HOPEFULLY YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY CHANGES TO IT HEARING? NOT ALL, EXCEPT THAT THAT'S APPROVED THEN,
[2. Approve April 7, 2022 Meeting Minutes]
UH, MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY MINUTES, UH, FROM OUR APRIL 7TH MEETING, HOPEFULLY ALL OF YOU HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK THEM OVER.ARE THERE ANY, OBVIOUSLY YOU MAY NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, KELLY, BUT YOU'LL LEARN QUICKLY.
UM, ARE THERE ANY CHANGES THAT ARE, OR ANY MODIFICATIONS OR DELETIONS OR ANYTHING TO THE APRIL SEVEN MINUTES HEARING NON-HYPER MOTION FOR APPROVAL, PLEASE LIKE THAT MOTION MOVED AND SECONDED.
ANY DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED EXTENSIONS ARE APPROVED.
[3. MS4 Activities Update]
ON TO THE ACTION, UH, DISCUSSION ITEMS. AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, UM, I'D ASK EVERYBODY, UH, TO BE REASONABLY DETAILED, UH, TO BENEFITS KELLY.SO SHE CAN KIND OF CATCH UP WITH WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
SO WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO EMMA'S FOR ACTIVITIES START.
WHO'S GOING TO START THAT EM, MS. FOR ACTIVITIES UPDATE.
UM, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, BE HONEST WITH YOU AS FAR AS OKAY.
SO MOST LIKELY THAT AS THE GREENWOOD AVENUE STREAM BANK RESTORATION PROJECT, I KNOW THAT'S IN ENGINEERING YET, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
UM, AND WE'RE STILL NEGOTIATING THAT WITH THE DEVELOPER, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HAS BEEN SET IN STONE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO HAPPEN AND THAT WILL ACCOUNT FOR EVERYTHING WE NEED IN OUR MS FOR, UH, OUR NEXT ROUND OF MS FOR STUFF THAT HAS TO BE DONE.
SO WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WELL.
AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR NEW MEMBER, UM,
AND SO IT'S JUST A PROGRAM UNDER WHICH, UM, MUNICIPALITIES OR WITH THEIR AUTHORITIES, UM, HAVE TO CORRAL THEIR, UM, STORMWATER, UM, SO THAT IT DOES NOT, OR THAT IT LESSENS THE IMPACT THAT IT HAS ON THE RECEIVING BODIES.
[00:05:01]
A PRETTY LONG TIME NOW, BUT THE FIRST, THE WHOLE FIRST DECADE OF IT WAS ALL VERY SOFT TYPE STUFF UNDER THE, YOU HAD TO EDUCATE PEOPLE, YOU HAD TO DO LONG RANGE PLANNING.AND, UM, WE'RE NOW JUST ROLLING INTO THE PART OF THE PROGRAM WHERE THEY'RE REALLY STARTING TO MAKE MUNICIPALITIES SPEND REAL MONEY AND DO REAL THINGS AND SUBMIT TO THEM EVERY YEAR, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, UM, TO START ACHIEVING, UH, COMPLIANCE.
SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF REFERENCES TO THAT IN OUR DISCUSSIONS.
AS FURTHER BACKGROUND KELLY, THE, THE, UH, THIS AUTHORITY TRADITIONALLY DEALT ONLY WITH, UH, SEWERS, BUT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ASKED US TO ALSO TAKE ON A STORMWATER AND THAT'S WHY THIS IS UNDER OUR PURVIEW.
IN FACT, AS LONG AS WE'RE GIVING SOME OF THAT BACKGROUND, ALSO JUST THE ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE TO THAT.
UM, THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION WERE JUST AMENDED, UH, WHEN THE LAST 24 MONTHS.
AND SO THE, THE DYNAMIC HERE IS THE, THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM IS OWNED BY THE AUTHORITY AND LEASED TO THE TOWNSHIP.
THE TOWNSHIP HAS ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE SYSTEM, AS THINGS ARE CURRENTLY SET UP, THE AUTHORITIES FUNCTION IS TO RECOMMEND FEES, BOTH ON BOTH SIDES, SANITARY, SEWER, AND NOW STORMWATER, UM, ON WHAT FEES ARE CHARGED.
WE'RE NOW JUST ROLLING INTO THIS BRAND NEW THING WHERE MUNICIPALITIES ARE STARTING TO CHARGE FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COST OF STORMWATER AND IMPLEMENTING MS. FOUR.
SO THE AUTHORITY, JUST BY COINCIDENCE OF TIMING OF YOU BEING HERE HAS, IS WEARING A SEPARATE HAT THAT IT NEVER WORE BEFORE NOBODY'S AUTHORITY DID BECAUSE THIS WHOLE STORM WATER ASPECT IS SEPARATE FROM THE LONGSTANDING SANITARY SEWER.
THE, UH, THE STREAM BANK RESTORATION PROJECT WILL BE ALONG THE SCHOOL HOUSE RUN, WHICH CROSSES GREENWOOD AVENUE.
AND, UH, THAT WILL SATISFY OUR NEXT ROUNDS OF REQUIREMENT, UH, REQUIREMENTS WITH OUR MS PROGRAM.
[4. Stormwater Management Fee Update]
SEGUE INTO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FEE UPDATE, TIM.UM, AS YOU KNOW, JOE, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S, IS THERE, IF THERE'S ANY UPDATE ON THE WESTCHESTER LITIGATION, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING, WE'RE KIND OF SLOW WALKING THIS A LITTLE BIT, AS WE DO MORE FACT FINDING ON HOW OTHER TOWNS ARE DOING THEIR FEE COLLECTION AND TRYING TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES WE'VE ALREADY, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A, UH, I THINK SOME OF YOU WERE ON THE VIRTUAL CALL THAT WE HAD WITH DAIRY TOWNSHIP.
UM, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF, UH, ALL OF YOU WERE ON THERE.
UM, DAIRY TOWNSHIP, AS YOU KNOW, IS A, UH, UH, THEIR MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY HAS A, UM, COORDINATOR THAT, UM, HANDLES ALL OF THE, UH, COLLECTIONS OF THE STORMWATER FEE ALSO HANDLES ALL THE STORMWATER CREDITS.
AND, UM, AT A PRIOR MEETING, UH, YOU RECALL JOSH HAGADORN GAVE HIM, UH, DID A KIND OF PUT TOGETHER A STORMWATER CREDIT MANUAL BASED ON DAIRIES PROGRAM, WHICH WAS 25 OR 30 PAGES LONG.
AND I THINK THE TAKEAWAY I GOT FROM THAT FROM FEEDBACK IS THAT IS RATHER CUMBERSOME, UM, THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER MORE STREAMLINED WAYS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT OUR CREDIT PROGRAM.
THINK ALL THE WEEDS IN THIS, IN THIS, IN THE, IN THE, IN A LOT OF THE FEE SCHEDULE REALLY ISN'T THE FEE ITSELF.
IT'S HOW DO YOU IMPLEMENT THE CREDIT PROGRAM? SO WE ALSO, UM, UM, FOUND OUT, WE HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF EXPERTS LIVE IN UPPER PROVIDENCE AT THAT THE FORMER BORA MANAGER FROM WESTCHESTER LIVES IN RIVER CRESTS.
AND HE'S THE ONE THAT TOLD US ABOUT THE LITIGATION, UH THAT'S UH, THAT THE STATE HAS FILED, I GUESS THE STATE IS VERY GOOD AT PASSING LEGISLATION, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY THE FEE ITSELF.
SO THEY'RE, UM, 40% OF WESTCHESTER'S, UM, STORMWATER BASE IS FROM, IS FROM WESTCHESTER UNIVERSITY.
SO THE STATE'S NOT IS, IS, IS NOT, IS REFUSING TO PAY WHAT, WHICH ACCOUNTS TO 40% OF WESTCHESTER'S STORMWATER FEE.
SO I GUESS THAT'S GOING SOMEWHERE UP IN THE SUPREME COURT.
I THINK THE BIG DECISION IS WHETHER IT'S A TAX OR WHETHER IT'S A FEE.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S KINDA ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE, UM, WE'RE KIND OF PIVOTING ON THAT.
AND AT THE TIME JOSH HAGADORN FROM GILMORE HAD PREPARED A, UH, AN IMPERVIOUS MAP THAT THAT WAS, THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE BASIS FOR WHAT OUR STORMWATER FEE WOULD BE.
AND IT HAD A LOT ON THERE, YOU KNOW, HAD A LOT OF STATE WRITEAWAYS THAT HAD STATE PROPERTIES.
UM, IT ALSO HAD ROADS, IT EXCLUDED, UM, TOWNSHIP FACILITIES.
[00:10:01]
THIS, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE F THE TOWNSHIP FACILITIES, UM, AND MOST TOWNS, THE FACILITIES ARE INCLUDED, UM, AND THEIR FEE SCHEDULE.I THINK THE GENERAL CENSUS THAT WE SHOULD BE, UM, WE SHOULD BE TREATING OUR, UM, WE SHOULD BE, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, WE DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THE STATE AND NOT CHARGE OURSELVES.
AND IF WE HAVE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE, WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE SAME, SAME RULE.
SO JOSH IS IN THE PROCESS OF REVISITING THAT IMPERVIOUS MAP.
WE MAY LIKE A LIT, WE MAY ELIMINATE THE TRAILS.
WE MAY ELIMINATE SOME ROADS, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO INCLUDE THE TOWNSHIP FACILITIES.
UM, AND ONE THING WE FOUND ABOUT WESTCHESTER AND DAIRY IS BOTH OF THOSE TOWNS DO THEIR IN-HOUSE COLLECTIONS.
AND WE'RE FINDING OUT DAIRY IN PARTICULAR, WE FOUND OUT IS VERY, VERY HIGH ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD ADMINISTERED THIS CUMBERSOME STORMWATER FEE, WHICH WE FIND OUT THAT MAYBE YOU ONLY 10 OR 15% OF THE RESIDENTS PARTICIPATE IN.
SO I THINK THERE'S MAYBE MORE SIMPLE WAYS WE'RE DOING IT.
ANOTHER TOWN THAT, UM, UH, WE ARE LOOKING INTO IS BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, UM, IS NORTH OF US.
UM, THEY HAVE CONTRACTED OUT WITH BURKHEIMER AND I THINK THEY HAVE A MUCH MORE REASONABLE, UM, UH, WAY OF CALCULATING, UM, STORMWATER CREDITS.
SO WE'RE EXPLORING THAT AS AN OPTION.
SO JOSH IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT.
IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO ON BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP'S WEBSITE LINK, I'LL, I'LL TRY TO EMAIL THAT OUT TO EVERYBODY OR DEBBIE, WE CAN PUT THAT THE MINUTES MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE STREAMLINED.
SO I THINK THAT MAY BE THE MODEL WE MAY BE LOOKING AT, BUT, UM, WE MAY, WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AT OUR AUGUST AT OUR AUGUST MEETING.
SO THAT'S THE UPDATE, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT IT IS, IS NO UPDATE, BUT IT'S, WE'RE WORKING ON.
UM, PROBABLY THE SIMPLER, THE BETTER, I GUESS, IS I KNOW THE, THE, UM, THE DETAILS OF THIS ARE REALLY CONFUSING.
SO MORE WE CAN SIMPLIFY IT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE RESIDENTS IS GOING TO BE THE BETTER.
AND ALSO FOR OUR OWN PURPOSES.
I'M A STRONG BELIEVER IN THAT I KNOW I, FOR ONE FIELDED, A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM MY NEIGHBORS WHEN IT WAS, THERE WAS THE ONE MENTION OF IT IN THE NEWSLETTER.
I THINK IT DREW A STRONGER REACTION THAN ANYTHING ELSE I CAN THINK OF.
AND I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 30 YEARS, EVEN THE DOUBLING OF THE SEWER FEE.
I THINK IT'S IN FIRST PLACE, AT LEAST FOR, I THINK BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT, HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE YET.
WELL, WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD VARIES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
[5. Project Status Reports]
WE WILL THEN MOVE ON TO THE PRODUCT STATUS REPORTS LIKE ATTENDEE RUNS, SANITARY SEWER PROJECT IS A PROJECT THAT SERVES ROSEMONT ESTATES.MARSHALL WOULD HAVE STATES OLD STATE ROAD AND FRUIT FARM ROAD, THE TOWNSHIP EXTENDING SEWERS TO THEM.
SO THAT'S THE AREA WE'RE AT PROJECT STARTED BACK IN JANUARY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
CURRENTLY, THE CONTRACTOR HAS COMPLETED, UM, MARSHALL WOOD, UM, OLD STATE ROAD AND ROSEMONT.
I THINK HE HAD A COUPLE OF LATERALS LEFT IN ROSEMONT TO DO IT.
WE'LL BE MOVING OUT FROM ROSEMONT ONTO FRUIT FARM ROAD AND RON NEXT TUESDAY, HIS SUBCONTRACTORS COMING IN WEATHER PERMITTING TO START MILLING THE ROADS IN MARSH WOOD AND OLD STATE ROAD.
SO THEY CAN PUT THE FINAL PAVING DOWN AND THEN WE'LL BE DONE WITH THOSE AREAS, BUT WE'LL STILL LEAVE ROSEMONT AND FRUIT FARM TO GO AIRLINE DRY CARMEN CIRCLE, STORM SEWER REPLACEMENT.
THAT WAS A PROJECT DOWN IN BOARDS, THE OAKS AREA, THE TOWNSHIP WHERE WE REPLACED ALL THE STORM SEWER PIPE IN CAROLINE DRIVE.
AND CARMEN CIRCLE AT JOB IS TOTALLY COMPLETE.
I'M WAITING ON THE CONTRACTOR TO GET ME HIS CLOTHES OUT PAPERWORKS.
HE'S COMPLETED ALL THE ITEMS ON HIS PUNCH LIST.
EVERYTHING'S IN HIS HANDS WAITING FOR HIM TO SEND BACK TO ME TO CLOSE OUT PAPERWORK SO THAT WE CAN RELEASE HIS FINAL PAYMENT.
AND IF HE DIDN'T CLOSE THAT ONE OUT THE OAKS GARDEN, STORM SEWER, THAT'S A LARGE CONCEPT PROJECT DOWN THERE.
WE'RE ONLY DOING PHASE ONE OF THAT, WHICH IS CALLED THE GUMS ROAD, COLBERT REPLACEMENT.
THERE'S A CULVERT UNDER GUMS ROAD, AS YOU APPROACH EGYPT ROAD.
I THINK IT'S 30 INCH IN DIAMETER, A 36 INCH DIAMETER RIGHT NOW, 30.
AND WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THAT WITH 30, 60, EXCEPT WE DID A TEST.
THEY OUT THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO TO FIND OUT WHERE THE WATER LINE IS.
AND THE BORDERLINE WAS VERY TIGHT TO WHERE WE HAD
[00:15:01]
TO PUT THE COLBERT ACROSS.SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE WATER COMPANY, WHETHER WE HAVE TO GO WITH AN ELLIPTICAL PIPE TO GET IT TO FIT IN THERE, OR IF THE WATER COMPANY IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO SMALL AMOUNT OF CLEARANCE, WE HAVE BETWEEN THE TOP OF OUR 60 INCH PIPE IN THE BOTTOM WHERE THEIR WATERLINE CAUSE THE WOODLINE WAS OVER TOP OF IT.
IS THAT GOING TO BE A SINGLE 60 INCH PIPE OR TWO THIRTIES, OR WHAT? ONCE ONE SINGLE 60 INCH.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT THERE.
WE'RE TALKING WITH THE WINTER COMPANY AND WE'RE STILL, THE TOWNSHIP IS STILL WORKING ON ACQUIRING EASEMENTS FOR THE AREA.
WE NEED TO PUT THE NEW PIPE IN, UM, OPES TOWNSHIP, MIND ROAD, SANITARY, SEWER EXTENSION.
THAT'S A SMALL SEWER EXTENSION THAT RUNS FROM A MANHOLE THAT WE HAD INSTALLED IN THE SHOPPING CENTER, WHERE LEGAL IS UP THERE OFF OF MAIN STREET RIDGE PIKE.
AND WE'LL COME UP OUT OF THAT SH UH, MANHOOD TO THAT SHOPPING CENTER AND SERVE FIVE HOUSES THAT FRONT TOWNSHIP LINE ROAD THAT ARE IN THE TOWNSHIP THAT I BELIEVE IS THE PLANNING MODULE FOR THAT IS A DOCUMENT HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU CAN EXTEND SEWERS WITH VEP.
AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE SUBMITTED THAT ONE WHEN A TOWNSHIP HAS SUBMITTED THAT ONE TO DEP OR APPROVAL, ONCE THAT APPROVAL COMES BACK, WE CAN FIND A NICE FINISHED DESIGN.
WE HAVE TO ALSO OBTAIN EASEMENTS UP THERE BECAUSE THAT'LL BE ALL RUNNING DOWN PROPERTY LINES AND THROUGH A PRIVATE ALLEY, THEY HAVE UP THERE TO GET TO THAT MANHOLE IN LITTLE SHOPPING CENTER.
THE SOUTH LEWIS ROAD SEWER EXTENSION THAT I BELIEVE IS COMPLETE.
THAT WAS A THAT'S COMPLETE OTHER THAN JUST, UH, SOME TOPSOIL WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
THE PERSON WHO NEEDED TO HOOK UP ON THAT PROJECT IS NOW HOOKED UP AND FLOWING TO THE SEWER PLANT.
SO THE WELL, SO WE GOT SOME TOP, SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT PROBABLY NEXT WEEK.
AND THAT COMPLETES THAT PROJECT.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER PROJECT THAT GREENWOOD AVENUE I MISSED THAT COMING DOWN.
THE GREENWOOD AVENUE, SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION IS A SEWER EXTENSION ALONG GREENWOOD AVENUE TO EXTEND THE PUBLIC SEWER FROM COLLEGE AVENUE OUT TO ALMOST MAIN STREET.
IT WILL BE IT'LL END UP A FEW FEET SHORT BECAUSE IT WAS, HAS LONG MAIN STREET ROBBERY SERVED.
AND THAT ONE IS IN THE PLANNING MODULE PROCESS.
I BELIEVE AT THE JUNE MEETING OF THE SUPERVISORS, THE RESOLUTION IS SEND THAT TO THE P WILL BE ADOPTED, AND THAT WILL BE BACK THE PLANNING MODULE, BE BACK IN THEIR HANDS.
AND THEN IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE GOING TO BE DESIGNING ANY, GETTING IT READY TO BUILD, UH, JUST A QUESTION LIKE BACK ON, UM, UH, SO LU SOUTHWEST ROAD, UH, W OR ANY OF THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS CONTACTED, AND THERE WAS ANYBODY WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN TYING IN, THEY HAVE NOT HAD NOT.
I EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN IN FUTURE.
WE'LL HAVE TO DO AN EXTENSION, BUT WE'D LIKE TO DO, AT THAT POINT IS JUMPED OUT ONTO SOUTH LEWIS ROAD, WHICH IS STATE ROAD, WHICH WILL PICK PERMITS AND APPROVED FROM PENN DOT.
AND THEN WE'LL RUN UP THE ROAD AND WE'LL GET THE OTHER FIVE HOUSES THAT THAT'LL BE A FUTURE PROJECT.
WE'D LIKE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEED.
FIRST NOBODY'S CONTACTED ME AS FAR AS ANY NEEDS ON, YOU KNOW, IN THERE, BUT THE SYSTEMS ARE PROBABLY ALL AROUND THE SAME AGE AND SHE WAS HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS, SO, WELL, GOOD TO KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THAT'S, YEAH, THAT PROBABLY HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
ANY QUESTIONS? MANY BOARD MEMBERS WRITING, UM, LOWER
[6. Lower Perkiomen Valley Regional Sewer Authority Updates]
PARK VALLEY, REGIONAL SEWER, 30 UPDATES, THE REPERCUSSION VALLEY, REGIONAL SEWER AUTHORITY.THAT'S THE, THAT'S A LARGE INTERCEPTOR PROJECT THAT IS RUNNING ALONG THE PERKIOMEN CREEK.
IT'S THE REGIONAL SEWER 30 PROJECT.
THE TOWNSHIP IS PART OF THE REGIONAL SEWER AUTHORITY.
THE PROJECT STARTS DOWN WHERE TO SKIP THAT CREEK INTERSECTS THE PERFUME AND ENDS UP IN KAUSHAL BOROUGH ACROSS FROM THE COUCH OR SHOPPING CENTER.
THE CONTRACTOR IS PROBABLY 600 FEET AWAY FROM COMPLETING ALL THE PIPE.
HE HAS ONE MORE MANHOLE RUN TO DO IN THE LOWER PROVIDENCE SIDE OF THE CREEK.
AND THEN HE'S JUMPING BACK ACROSS THEN FINISHING THE LAST 500 FEET IN CULTURAL BOROUGH.
AND HE HAS TO COME BACK AND DO ALL THE INTERCONNECTS CONNECT THE OLD TO THE NEW, AND HE EXPECTS TO BE DONE THAT BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
AND THEN THERE'LL BE ALL THE RESTORATION AND STUFF, THE WHOLE PROJECT WE'RE HOPING IT WILL BE DONE BY THE END OF 2022, BUT THE PIPES SHOULD BE IN SERVICE BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
HOPEFULLY JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE EXPLANATION THINGS TOO, THAT THE TOWNSHIP DOESN'T TREAT ANY FLOW.
SO WHEN THEY REFER TO REGIONAL, THANK YOU, JOE.
AND THE TOWNS AND THE REGIONAL
[00:20:01]
IS, UH, OUR, UM, UPPER PROVIDENCE PROVIDENCE.SKIP COLLEGE WILL TRAP YOU GO.
