Lansford borough is looking for a new insurance carrier.

Philadelphia Indemnity, which carries the combined policy for property, auto, equipment floater, crime and general liability, informed the borough it is dropping its coverage.Borough council President Martin Ditsky said there have been 20 claims against the insurance company in the past three years, prompting the cancellation.A civil case of Vazza versus the borough of Lansford was the main reason for nonrenewal, according to council. No other details of the case were available.Also, a breakdown of claims against the borough, whether it be suits, injury or illness claims, or any other claims, also wasn't available.The borough has its insurance through the Seltzer Insurance Agency.Council member Rose Mary Cannon said, "Finding new insurance is one thing, but you know the cost is going to go up."In other business:• Council said it will send a bill for cleanup work to the firm responsible for two coal spills that occurred on Route 209 and Parkway Road. Parkway runs between Route 209 and Boyer's Supermarket.A truck dumped part of its load of rice or buckwheat coal on Tuesday morning. Lehigh Anthracite helped with the Route 209 cleanup.Ditsky said the Lansford Fire Department did the cleanup on Parkway Road.The coal truck had pulled over in Boyer's parking lot and the driver was questioned by police.Mayor James Romankow said the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has informed the borough it will send personnel into Lansford and check for violations on trucks traveling through the borough.• It was noted that the borough doesn't have a cleanup week like Coaldale and Summit Hill because it doesn't have one specified in its garbage collection contract.Cannon said inclusion of cleanup week would substantially increase the rate for trash collection.It was noted that even at the present garbage rates, there are a lot of arrearages in the payment of bills.Councilman Colin Jones said a cleanup week should be reviewed for the future.Meanwhile, Councilman Tommy Vadyak said people are putting TVs and other electronic devices at the curb, but the garbage collector isn't permitted to pick up these items. Only a state certified hauler can collect such devices, according to the Department of Environmental Protection regulations.
