MASSENA -- The village has to spend an extra $10,500 on a project to replace waterlines because of problems underground.
Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan Fayad said the project involved a contractor using a device that is inserted into the "old and fatigued" pipes, bursts them, and drags the new pipe into place behind it.
He said they encountered structural problems with pipes buried below South Main Street railroad tracks.
"It would be great if we could see into the ground," Fayad said.
The project still comes in under their budgeted amount with the extra $10,500 cost, Fayad said.
The railroad tracks was one of three areas where they had to do the pipe replacement, and the other two went off with no problems, he said.
