Greenburgh officials say new high-resolution sewer camera footage could dramatically reduce the cost of fixing a sewage failure at 100 East Hartsdale Ave.
The sewer system was damaged after a manhole collapse in 2024, leading to a temporary pump setup that neighbors say has been noisy and frustrating.
At Tuesday night’s Town Board meeting, new Public Works Commissioner Frank Morabito and town staff presented findings from a specialized CCTV inspection of the damaged pipe. Officials say the footage shows the break appears to be near the street — not under the building’s foundation.
That could mean the repair may not require major excavation, which had helped drive earlier estimates as high as $24 million.
Residents say the situation has been confusing and dragged on for too long, but town officials say the new findings could point to a much less expensive fix.
More camera inspections are expected this week as Greenburgh evaluates the new repair option.
