Machell Avenue sewers may be built this year Properties on the lower part of Machell Avenue in Dallas Borough may be connected to new sewers by the fall. Tom Bagley, plant superintendent of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority, said last week that work on the project to extend the sewer line will begin as soon as bids are accepted. That could be as early as this spring, with com- pletion taking two to three months. The extension has been in DAMA's plans since 1973, and is part of Dallas Borough's wastewa- ter management plan. Bagley said that lower Machell Avenue is the only area of the Borough that is not served by the DAMA system. The extension will include relo- cating a pumping station from the end of the paved portion of Pow- derhorn Drive to the side of Mach- ellacross from its intersection with Powderhorn. In total, 1600' of gravity line and 800' of forced main will be added. When completed, the system will pump sewage up to the existing line on Sterling Ave- nue. Any property that fronts on Machell Avenue where the new line runs must connect to the system. Charges will not be set until the final construction cost is determined. Property owners will pay a two-part fee to hook up: First, a connection fee that is now $1000, then a charge per front foot of property. Bagley couldn't say how much that charge would be, but cited as examples Sutton Farms, which was $15.00 per foot and Elmcrest Woods, which was $20.00. The connection fee is paid in one lump sum, while the front footage asssessment can be paid in installments over five years. One part of the Borough that will apparently not be connected is the Kabeschat Country Complex and the Split Rail Lane and Birch Hill Road area. Those roads have remained privately owned, and DAMA has no authority to put sewer lines in. Bagley said, how- ever, that in most cases, home- owners and developers welcome the municipal system because it saves them the trouble of install- ingand maintaining a private septic system. When asked if he had received ‘any objections to the project from residents of Machell Avenue, Ba- gley said he had not. “We're in big demand,” he said. “Everyone seems to want sewers.” School menus DALLAS SCHOOLS Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 MONDAY - Chili con carni, crispy potato wedge, buttered mixed vegetables, chilled pears, choice of milk.

Back Mountain Citizens’ Council forms committees, sets agenda By CHARLOT M.

Eight committees were organ- ized at Wednesday night's meeting of the Back Mountain Citizens’ Council at the Penn State Wilkes- Barre Campus, each to focus on an area of concern to residents in the nine area municipalities. Nancy Eckert, newly-elected president of the Citizens Council, told the committees, “Now that we have organized let's not talk things into the ground, let's do some- thing.” Committees formed were; plan- ning and zoning; community edu- cation and social concerns; trans- portation; solid waste and recy- cling; water supply and clean streams; municipal services; open space and recreation, and com- munications. Facilitators were named towork with each committee, and after a 30-minute discussion within the groups, committee leaders gave reports to inform the entire meet- ing of each committee's direction. Proposed work included gathering more information on local recy- cling programs, finding solutions to the region's increasing prob- lems with water and evaluating the effect of the Back Mountain's growth on low income families. Other topics included organizing a speakers bureau to disseminate information to Back Mountain organizations, inventorying exist- ing open space and planning for added parklands, better identify- ing streets and roads, insuring that highways are adequate for future ° development, helping to foster more genuine interest in the workings of local government, and developing a regional attitude toward plan- ning. There was a consensus that liaison between the Citizens’ Coun- cil and municipal governments be encouraged as well as liaison be- tween the council and the general population. Howard Grossman, executive director of the Economic Develop- ment Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania, told the attendees that the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs was sched- uling six to eight training courses on municipal planning for officials and residents starting in April. Grossman said the training sessions would be held on the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus, and | conducted by an attorney, a pro- fessional planner and a professor from University Park. “The idea,” sald Grossman, “Is to get everybody to participate in the training and learn about the new planning code.” Al Skala of the Penn State Ex- tension said he also could lead informational meetings on zoning and water quality. Skala said he would arrange the meetings as requested. The nine municipalities repre- sented in the Back Mountain Council are Dallas Borough, Dal- las Township, Franklin Township, Harveys Lake Borough, Jackson Township, Kingston Township, Lake Township, Lehman Township and Ross Township. Members of committees will be notified as the time and place is set for their meetings.
