Weissport's engineer, David Horst of Benesch Engineering, suggested that Weissport begin documenting damage being done to borough streets caused by the heavy rigs driving through the borough because of the reconstruction of the McCall bridge.

Mayor Jonathan Troutman said a six-wheeled crane was sitting in front of his house."I'm concerned about what that heavy equipment is doing to our streets," Troutman said. "I know that my kids are fascinated by the crane, but I'm concerned with what the roads will be like when the project is complete."Horst suggested that someone take photographs of the streets and continue to do so during the rest of the reconstruction."Would you like me to set up a meeting to discuss whether there will be any funds for your streets?" Horst asked.Council members also discussed another bridge construction issue that is causing problems for a few residents."They had a leak in the bridge and the water flooded my yard," said council President Gene Kershner, who said he was concerned there would be a high concentration of lead since the water wasn't filtered.Troutman said he had also gone on a rafting trip over the weekend and noticed the workers had opened the curtain on the bridge to gain some air."When they let air in, they are letting out contamination," Troutman said. "I'm also concerned that they are not filtering any of the water and it is going into our sewer system.""What are the problems we'll be facing down the road years from now because of this happening today?" Kershner asked.Horst also notified the borough that the Small Community Block Grant funds to resurface Prospect Street will likely not be available this year."You know there has been a turnover in the county planning office," Horst said."You have to see if those funds can be released this year," Troutman said. "The road is crumbling. We waited until this year because Lehighton did the water line last year. We planned to resurface the street this year. See if you can get them to release the funds this year."Horst asked council if he could assist with securing funding to replace the water lines."I read a newspaper article that you want to replace the lines, and I thought I'd see if I could help," Horst said.
