According to FCBMSDA Engineer Daniel B. Slagle, a 12-inch sewer line collapsed in the un- named alley that runs from 4th Avenue to 5th Av- enue. The collapsed line was backing up sewage into homes and businesses and immediate action was necessary. FCBMDSA hired Holbein Con- struction from Sarver to dig up the line and fix the sewer line that was approximately 12 feet below the surface. “Holbein brought in some major heavy equipment that was concentrated in a small area,” Young said. “That pad that we poured was badly damaged along with concrete pads along our building. Those have all caved in close to the alley. We have a lot of damage. I went to the Borough meeting and they suggested I come to talk to you all. I want to know what will be done. Is Hol- bein responsible for this? Is this something you guys contact Holbein and tell them they have to come back and repair this? What is my course of action?” FCBMSDA President John Thompson made an appointment this morn- ing to meet with Young. However, after Young’s comments, Thompson stopped all questions from the Kittanning Paper and would not permit the en- gineer or solicitor to further clarify the events. Thompson denied any knowl- edge of any problem at the location. That seems unlikely since the event was somewhat catastrophic, spanning the entire block. Details of what happened next depends on with whom you speak. When the trench was restored, it appears that the FCBMSDA did not direct Holbein to provide supports for a main water line that was located four feet above the sewage line. Therefore, when Holbein heavy equipment began to compact the soil after filling in the ditch, the water line was broken, causing massive flooding to the area. Thompson cleared the room by stating the directors were going into ex- ecutive session, although he did not properly identify the reason. Because identification was not given, the rules of the Sunshine Law were allegedly not properly followed. Thompson said he would submit a news release when the FCBMSDA had something to say about the situation rather than being questioned. Tom Young
