Phase 1 services about 43 resi- dents. Phase II services 23 resi- dents. “The interconnection is not in use yet,” Savitz told the supervi- sors. “It cannot be until you au- thorize us. That was the purpose” of the supervisors’ injunction, Savitz said. The injunction referred to a suit filed by the supervisors in early April in Luzerne County Court. At a hearing, Judge Patrick Toole forbade the owners of the Sunrise Estates subdivision, Alfred Ta- manini, Jr. and Dolores Tamanini, from drawing any water from Phase I to serve Phase II. The attorneys for the township and the Ta- manini's were to have worked out an agreement to that effect. McMullen questioned Savitz's statement. “You have got homes ready to go. Are you going to use this water for those houses until such time as the well is in place?” he asked. Savitz denied again that Phase I “water would be used in such a ‘manner, stating that Phase II's well is ready for operation as soon as the rain stops and UGI electri- fies it.

The supervisors approved the physical interconnection of the water systems as long as they are equipped with shut-off valves. The approval requires that the inter- connection be used only for emer- gency purposes. The supervisors refused to approve use of the connection until Tamanini Industries, The Home- owners’ Association, and Kingston Township agree in writing when the water could be used and for what purposes. The agreement must define emergency purposes and require the Homeowners’ Association be informed when emergency situ- ations arise. Kingston Township Manager Jeffrey Box said, “the Board of Supervisors would consider for approval the use of the intercon- nected water at a special meeting May 24 if the agreement is deliv- ered by that date.” + Tamanini also seruested per- mission to change an easement requiring a drainage pipe to be concrete so they could use plastic pipe. Savitz made the request claim- ing the pipe used must be perfo- rated so it could collect surface water from the ground. Concrete pipe cannot be perforated. The supervisors denied the re- quest stating that there no reason the pipe, used for drainage from a different location, needs to collect surface water. In other business, the supervi- sors authorized Box to advertise for bids for a 1990, four-wheel drive, mini-dump truck for the Kingston Township Road Depart- ment, and authorized Township Solicitor BenJones to draft a multi- year tax collection agreement with the Dallas School District.

Pioneer (continued from page 1) maintenance of the roadway, ac- cording to Box. He said there are a lot of drainage problems along the road. Also, he claims the road surface is deteriorated. Penn DOT was unavailable for comment. Another concern is maintenance during the winter months. “The response time for Penn DOT in the event of winter storms is not as fast as it seemingly should be,” Box said. Because of the large number of Kingston Township residents who use Pioneer Avenue, the township feels “it might be in the interest of Deleurs serving those citizens if we were to assume control of the roadway.” Two methods of take over have been discussed by the township and the state. The first was considered about three years ago, when the town- ship first agreed to assume control of the road from Penn DOT. Penn DOT offered a monetary payment to the municipality on an annual basis for maintenance of Pioneer Avenue. “This has somehow been de- layed,” Box said. 675-2266 INC. 631 Memorial Hwy., Dallas Pa. “Your One Stop Shop" Fireplace and Chimney Experts BUILD — CLEAN — RELINE — REPAIR SOOT . . .

N Last year, Penn DOT approached the township with a proposal re- garding turning over Pioneer Ave- nue with a lump sum of money to refurbish the road. This offer was turned down by Penn DOT officials in Harrisburg. Although negotiations are con- tinuing, the township does not yet know if the take over will occur. “Standing right now, the most I could say is negotiations are con- tinuing to hopefully reach an agree- ment (with the state),” Box said. He characterized the negotiations as presently being at a “standstill.” For long-lasting pool water...
