Phase II will give you 100,000 gal-
lons per day for less residents,”
according to Savitz.
. 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.

McMullen also wanted to know
what exactly was meant by emer-
gency situations. No definition was
offered by Savitz.
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.

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.

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.”
