Jones to file suit against the Dallas/ Shavertown Water Company in an attempt to force the company to clean up a poten- tial health hazard. The suit surrounds property owned by the water company lo- cated at the corner of Johnson Street and Stafford Street in Trucksville. “There are two problems,” said Township Manager Jeffrey Box Tuesday. He explained that two opposite parcels of land pose a threat to the safety of nearby resi- dents. One parcel contains an old, abandoned well house foundation. “This structure consists of crum- bling debris,” said Box. “It is an attractive nuisance to children.” Box said the township fears chil- dren may be injured while playing near the structure. On the second parcel located on the opposite side of the street, an old water tank has been aban- doned. “This tank has been left there propped up by stones,” Box company commented. “If it became dis- lodged, it could roll and cause in- jury to someone or damage some property.” Box said the township has at- tempted unsuccessfully to have the water company voluntarily clean up the property, “so the so- licitor is preparing the necessary legal action.” : The water company contacted the township following the deci- sion to take legal action, according to Box. “They said they would clean up the property by Wednesday,” he said. “If it is cleaned up, we will withdraw any legal action.” DER offers fire grants Forest District Manager Anthony D.
