The $3,000 in damage caused in the partial collapse of Fairmount Avenue will be paid for by the contracting company installing a new storm sewer line at the location.
Crews from Brothers Asphalt Paving Inc. will pay for the repairs to Fairmount Avenue near Briargate Drive, where work was ongoing by the company to install a new storm sewer line.
Though crews were not present when the Dec. 27 collapse occurred, the village believes the damage resulted from a combination of the storm sewer line installation and the heavy snow and rain at the time.
The damage was repaired by Dec. 30 and the intersection of Fairmount Avenue and Briargate Drive was reopened.
“A storm sewer construction project, which is occurring from 63rd Street all the way south to Oxford Street, has been under construction for some time,” Kozlowski said. “There was some damage done to the road ... part of the street was already opened up.”
The hole was approximately 6 feet by 22 feet, and 2 feet deep, Kozlowski said.
The street is residential and homeowners did have access to their driveways during the few days when repairs were taking place, Kozlowski said.
