Sewer main will be moved to Machell Ave. Clarification: The following story was inadvertantly cut off in last week's Post. We run it here in its entirety. The sewer main that is now located on Powderhorn Drive in Dallas Borough will soon be moved to Machell Avenue, according to Tom Bagley, manager of the Dallas Area Municipality Authority plant. "Whether or not the Deer Mead- ows development is settled, the main is being moved to its origi- nally planned site and residents have to connect to the sewers. The development has nothing to do with it. It's all in our master plan," Bagley said. Bagley went on to say that the move was planned five or six years ago. "We have already ordered the main and we have had the permit for eight or nine years."
