The following projects were reviewed, including locations and current design status:
MS4 Phase 2 Stream Restoration - Complete
Pinebrook Culvert Design – Anticipate completion in the spring.
Wyndmere Drive Design – The project was completed to address stormwater surcharge issues
and standing water in the roadway. The scope of work included the installation of new inlets
and the upsizing of existing piping
Wayne Drive Design - The project was completed to address flooding in the roadway, homes,
and yards. Final restoration is anticipated in the spring.
Northfield Road Design – The work experienced multiple delays due to the presence of
numerous utility lines within the project corridor and is scheduled for completion in the spring.2026 Design and Implementation Projects
The Board reviewed the planned 2026 capital design and construction projects.
Hope Road Preliminary Design - Infiltration testing is scheduled for January 2026. Ms.
Bertoncello asked whether sewer lines were planned along this roadway. Mr. Santoro
explained that there is no current plan for sewer lines, but the proposed infiltration system will
not block the ability to install future sewer lines. Mr. Andree inquired about the timeline for this
project. Mr. Beidler informed the Board that the storm sewer portion is anticipated to be
Page 3 of 6
completed in 2026.
Joan Street Storm Sewer Project – A deteriorated section of pipe will be rehabilitated by slip-
lining the terracotta portion, and the corrugated section will be replaced with new piping. Mr.
Santoro inquired about the slip-lining process and the life expectancy of the lining. Mr.
Schutzman explained that the liner is pulled through the existing pipe and then heated to
conform to its interior. A specialized tool is then used to cut the openings and seal the ends.
Mr. Schutzman indicated that the slip-lining has an estimated life expectancy of approximately
50 years.
Dutilh Road Storm Sewer Replacement – Candidate for slip-lining.
Parkwood Drive Slip Lining – 2026 Project
Freshcorn Road Slip Lining – 2026 ProjectLaPorte Court Improvements – The project is a candidate for slip-lining. The Summerwind facility will lessen the demand on this section of pipe.

CCTV Inspections and T4 Spatial Database The Board received an update on the Fox Run CCTV inspections and database integration: Implementation of the T4 Spatial program is ongoing. Inspection links for each storm line have been integrated with the Township’s GIS database. Uploaded inspections allow users to access associated videos directly through the GIS system. Inspection data is further linked to a searchable and filterable database.
Initial outcomes were discussed, including the potential upsizing and replacement of storm
sewer infrastructure, which is anticipated in 2026.
