At the March 1 virtual Macungie Borough Council meeting, the walls for Mountain Creek are still under consideration.

“Barry Isett & Associates was asked to prepare a cost proposal to survey the property line between 144 E. Main St. and 154 E. Main St., along with the location of the creek walls, fences and structure within five feet of the creek walls and any defined, recorded easements, deed restrictions and/or maintenance agreements listed in the title searches of the two properties. BIA’s cost proposal for this work was $4,000,” according to previous meeting minutes. Interim Borough Manager Chris L. Boehm said at the Feb. 16 meeting the survey will show where the property lines are but will not provide an answer as to who owns the walls. A survey will be conducted to determine where property lines are located.
