Trumbull commissioners file second lawsuit over Kinsman sewer project

WARREN — The Trumbull County commissioners filed additional legal action against Marucci & Gaffney Excavating of Youngstown regarding a $10.6 million sewer project in Kinsman.

This time the commissioners are accusing the company of submitting false videos and data to cover up sags in the sewer lines it installed.

The suit was filed today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

The county, through Sanitary Engineer Randy Smith, used its own workers and later hired a separate company to produce videos of the inside of the sewer lines after county officials became suspicious of videos Marucci & Gaffney submitted.

The county’s videos and other data suggest that dozens of sections of sewer pipe may need to be replaced, the lawsuit says.
