A letter from the Pennsylvania at-' torney general to Harvey’s Lake * Authority Solicitor Donald McFadden will require sewer hook-ups for the estimated 29 residences constructed over Harvey’s Lake. Contents of the letter was discussed at the March 12 meeting of the Harvey's Lake Municipal Authority. The letter came in reply to an authority letter questioning the legality of the “boathouse” residences prompted by an inquiry@ipm William Hoblak at the authoritie§ February meeting. The attorney general’s letter said the residents were not Pennsylvania Legislative Act 607. The state law that had been cited at the February meeting as probable grounds for declaring the residences illegal - over bodies of water used for drinking purposes. A vote on. a motion from William Gunster approved by a 3-1 margin, authorization for the contractors to install is into ‘‘ boathouses” where lines had not yet been installed. Secretary Albert Gulitius cast the dissenting vote. Gunster stated that Somerset Company, contractors and the authority will have to discuss measures to be taken for backtracking where laterals have already been installed. Hoblak questioned the basis of determining residential boathouse Although the Authority could explain no definite basis of determination in the matter, car Renda, owner of il was called upon to explain the large difference in price ‘in installing Y's into the residences in question if it becomes . necessary to backtrack to complete _ installation. ‘George Alles, authority chaithan, “1 Overbrook Road PPOPO OCP OeOP .

Backtracking where lines are installed was estimated by Renda as costing as much as $1500 per lateral or rate of time and material. He advised the authority it was better to spend the $18 now and install the Y’s rather than wait until the ‘boathouse’ legality question was answered and risk: the $1500 expense later. Hoblak explained his position on the matter was based on the fact that the system was designed to exclude the boathouses due to a 1971 borough law the lake. : At the February meeting Hoblak asked the commission to contact the attorney general on the matter as he feared sewering the homes might grant approval for more ‘boathouse’ Alles had at that. time consented to await the attorney general’s decision, which was received and acted upon. The general consensus of those present appeared to back tteauthority’s decision. Several people in the audience spoke in support of the authority and Robert Winterstein, borough council member, commended the authority for “taking the step forward to install the Y’s” and commented on the financial benefits. He also stated he felt that council ‘“‘would back the authority 100 percent” in the matter. Tom Cadawalder estimated that 75 percent of the boathouses had already been by passed. He was informed by the authority that they will go back and install where living quarters exist. Later residents will have to pay their own costs.
