Combining with Wyoming Val- ley proved to be the most cost efficient way to handle the situ- ation. The connection is expected to cost approximately $4.1 million while upgrading the facility would have cost around $5 million. “It seems to be the feasible way to go,” said Bagely. “Wyoming Valley a has much better pollutant removal capacity and the study has shown it will be cheaper.” When the connection is made, Bagley said that the communities involved with DAMA will become part of Wyoming Valley. These communities include, Kingston Township, Dallas Borough, and Dallas Township. Also included will be Lehman Township and Jackson Township, who are customers of DAMA. Once the connection is made, DAMA will continue to maintain the services of the communities but will be a pumping station in- stead of a filtering station. The planning stage of the con- nection is already underway. En- gineers of Roy F. Weston, Inc. are designing the plans. These designs will also decide the route for the 3.5 mile connection from Kingston Township to Edwardsville. Bagley said the designs should be completed by March, 1991 with construction scheduled tobegin in March of 1992. “Hopefully by August of 1993 we should be ready Sewer (continued from page 1) permits approximately 90 house- holds have purchased permits, according to Jack Ziegler, ex- ecutive director of the project. Ziegler expects about 280 households to connect to the system and was very pleased to see a large portion of the resi- dents purchase the permits al- ready. “We did not know what to expect the first week,” Ziegler said Monday. “We ended up issuing about one-third of the expected total, I'm very happy and satisfied so far.” Ziegler added that permits for the connection will continue to be issued twice a week for the rest of the month. Residents can purchase the permit Thursday evenings from 6:00-9:00 p.m. and from 9:00 a.m.- noon on Saturdays. The cost of a permit is $375, which will help defray the total cost of the project. After the permit is issued the work to hook up to the new system can begin. However, the work must be inspected before it is covered over. Representatives of the Dallas! Are Municipal Authority are doing the inspections. There is a $50 fee for the inspection. The new public sewer project was built after the Department of Environmental Resources said the township had to replace its septic tanks with a public sewer project. This happened after DER found the septic tanks were con- taminating nearby waterways. Tir: SDALLASCP0ST 309-415 Plaza Dallas, PA 675-5211 PROBLEM WITH A STORY?

Grant (continued from page 1) will then split an approximate $20,000 to qualifying communi- ties. “There is a pretty good chance that we might get some funds,” said Peter Onukiewech, a repre- sentative of Varaly Associates, the firm helping with the application. “With the increases in housing and population in Harvey's Lake there is the need for some fund- ing,” he said Monday night at the borough's Planning Commission meeting. According to figures released by the borough, there has been a 36 percent increase in population and a 108 percent increase in housing in the borough during the past decade. To help with the application, the borough is updating its compre- hensive plan. The planning com- mission said that the current plan, which was drafted in 1974, does not adequately address develop- ment issues. At Monday night's . meeting the commission strongly supported the adoption by the borough council of a new compre- hensive plan. Onukiewech said that the new plan will resolve, reassess and improve development issues for the borough. The application for the SPAG funds will be submitted soon and if approved, Onukiewech said that the borough could see the grant § money by the end of the summer.

(Photo by Charlot M. Denmon) Bonds (continued from page 1) There were some organizations such as the Dallas Federated Woman's Club who purchased a bond then immediately turned it back to the Association as a dona- tion. Thomas Reese, who was secre- tary of the Association for 10 years said he didn't even know where his bonds were nor how many he bought at the time. “I don't intend to take back the money. The fair board will need it for something in the future. It's been a good thing for the Back Mountain.” Hugh Woodward, current presi- dent of the Fall Fair Associaton, said the money could be used by the association, but when the bonds were sold, the money was put aside and kept to pay back the purchas- aiff | ers in 1990. “If people give it to us as a dona- tion we would be happy because we could use it, but that will be up to each individual who has a bond. If they don't send them in and ask for their money, then it will go for more capital improvements such as paving sidewalks, buildings, paving for more parking and for recreational sites,” Woodward said. Woodward, who is serving his, third year as president, resides in, Dallas. “We have the names and : the amounts of every person who purchased a bond,” Woodward, 7 said, “And we are sending a letter J to each of them giving them their. options. We have to wait to see . what the results are.” Your social announcements are welcome at The Dallas Post.
