The state said a water main in the street brook causing the sinkhole and so they were not liable, Pawlowski said that a sinkhole formed and broke the water main o they were not liable. Everyone agrees that the issues started in the street but Pawlowski helped those who lost their homes by renting them hotel rooms for 5 days.<br /><br />I say again that Pawlowski is one of the worst thing to ever happen to this city. I can not think of one good thing he has done that has not had a darker side to it as well.<br /><br />~Elijah LoPinto Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016813713664534353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-50078146416170356882015-08-09T06:17:48.309-04:002015-08-09T06:17:48.309-04:00The same issue exists on the LC BOC.

It was a leak in someones basement that caused it and the fact UGI looks for gas leaks every year proves it was not a gas leak. When work crews found a giant break in the cast iron pipe in the street the city put out information saying that it was broken in the explosion and could not have been cracked like that before or UGI would have found it in their 'regular' inspections.<br /><br />Never had I seen UGI dig up the street and replace a broken pipe. Never had I seen their gas sniffing trucks around before the explosion on 13th st. Starting the next spring they were everywhere, digging up the ground, replacing pipes of putting rubber liners in them.<br /><br />There have been more deaths then I care to think about in Allentown from gas explosions, in every case the building owner was found liable.<br /><br />Just one more of Pawlowski's cover ups. Not all of them were on his watch but the worst one was, the one that killed enough people at once to force UGI to start fixing things they should have been fixing in the early 90's.<br /><br />~Elijah<br /><br />P.S.
