City water main break repair at least $250,000
YOUNGSTOWN — Although the bills haven’t arrived, Youngstown water officials estimate the costs of fixing one of the city’s main water lines at $250,000 to $300,000.
The city lost about 50 million gallons of water because of the Jan. 24 break to the line on the lower West Side, said Water Commissioner John Casciano. The cost for that water is about $50,000, he said.
The city buys about 16 million to 18 million gallons of water a day from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. About 5 million to 10 million gallons of water a day comes through the 36-inch pipe that broke on Marshall Street. That line is one of the city’s two largest connecting it to the MVSD.
