The Township’s contractor has completed the installation of 230 feet of sanitary sewer from an existing manhole to a new manhole installed in the circle. They have now moved on to the storm sewer installation.

Thus far approximately 90 feet of storm sewer has been installed and two storm inlets have been built. Work will be progressing from the circle, up the block towards Ewing Street.

Numerous large rocks were dug up from the lower section of the street.
Many people like to use them for lawn ornamentation. Laurel Circle residents are more than welcome to come down to the bottom of the road and take a look at the selection.
