A low water level alarm is not working on one of the boilers, and we ve been told the part to make the repair has been ordered. We have to process the final pay request and set up all warranties on special equipment. Park Project The inlet has been installed to address the drainage issue. The batting cage installation is complete. We are awaiting a price for complete replacement of the roof. The foundation is in place for the new storage building, and we are awaiting the pre-fabricated structure. We have also processed their first pay request. Sanitary Sewers We are in the process of designing the replacement of the mains on MacDade due to the conflict with the proposed bridge over the Muckinipates. There have been a number of conflicts found in the video taping as well as the uncovering of a buried MH. The MacDade Mall restoration on South Avenue is complete. We need to follow with PennDOT on the permit. It was reported to our office that a lateral replacement on 600 Glenfield revealed a direct connection of the roof downspout into the sanitary sewer system. This particular location was disconnected, but it is believed that the majority of the area may have similar illegal connections. Our recommendation is that all property owners suspected of the illegal connections be notified and given guidance and a specific time frame to come into compliance. There will be another meeting for the Eastern Delaware County 537 Plan at DELCORA on May 23, 2013 to review revised recommendations on the lateral inspection issue.
