Last week, the borough's highway department replaced a storm sewer line on the 400 block of Locust Street. The old pipe was replaced with a new corrugated polyethylene pipe, and the trench was filled in with a load of stone.  Steel plates have been placed over the trench until asphalt can be applied. The 300 and 400 blocks of Locust are slated to be paved. An old gnarled sewer pipe was removed. A new corrugated polyethylene pipe was installed.
