On-line payments/strong>

People soon will have the ability to pay Avalon Borough bills -- including parking tickets -- on-line.

The borough council voted unanimously to authorize the EVS company of Coraopolis to install the capability of accepting payments on the borough's Web site. Once in place, the site will accept credit or debit card payments for bills payable to the borough.

Each payment will be assessed a transaction fee, so that the service comes at no cost to the borough.

Sewer problems outnumber funds

Unknown -- although not unexpected -- sewer problems will ensure that Avalon uses the entire $2.1 million borrowed to fund a boroughwide rehabilitation project, and ends up without enough money to completely repair all lines.

Chester Engineers' Shawn Rosensteel told council members at their meeting Wednesday evening that it had been possible to trim about $200,000 from the original cost estimate of $1.7 million before deficiencies discovered during the project ate up the savings as well as the contingency funds built into the borough's financing through PennVEST.
