RE rT BAe ne - The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 14, 1989 3 Sewers (continued from page 1) placed under the roads. He said that in selected areas, the sewer authority wants to place pipes behind the homes. "This would save the sewer authority money and the property owners would save money on hook- up,” Ziegler said. He explained that the homeowners would save money because most residents’ hook-ups are located behind their homes. "They would only have to run a short distance" to hook up, he . said. One resident who agreed to an easement would only give his name as ‘John’. He said “I want the pipe ut behind my house. Ifit's in front my house and a line breaks, the > road will be tied up while it is being © fixed. At least if it's in the back, the roads will stay open.” Once an easement is granted, the homeowner can no longer build any permanent structures on the easement property. Linde ex- plained that the restriction is nec- essary for maintenance of the pipes. “We may have to go in and repair a line someday,” Linde explained during a meeting with residents. “If there is a shed on the property, we would have to tear it down (to work on the pipes).” Agnes Tomasura, Chase Road, said she is opposed to the ease- ment. “The easement devalues my property,” Tomasura claimed. She “ said Linde offered her $200 for an easement to her property. She then had a realtor estimate the value of the land. “The estimate was higher than Linde’s offer,” she & aid. A property owner near Tomas- ura also said he fears the ease- ment would devalue his property. He claimed the easement would run along a creek on his property. “If I give him the easement, I will lose rights to the creek,” he said. “That would result in my property value going down.” Ziegler said that people are being contacted and asked for the ease- . ment. If only a couple of residents do not agree in a given area, the sewer authority would take fur- ther action. "If there is no other choice avail- able to the sewer authority, they will use the right of .condemna- tion," Ziegler said. The right of condemnation is a right retained by the municipality to take land needed for a project. The landowner must be given fair compensation for the land. Ziegler added that the use of that right is not the preferred choice of the authority. Another resident said he fears the pipes being installed and the size of the easements may be lead- ing to future problems. He said he beleives the sewer project will even- tually end up including the State Correctional Institute at Dallas. “In time, they (Linde Enterprise) may have to redo the entire proj- ect,” he said. “That is probably why they have the twenty foot ease- ment for eight inch pipe.” The resident claims the eight inch pipe is good for the homes now being connected, but expansion will create a larger flow demand. He said he believes the eight inch pipes will have tobe dug up and replaced with larger ones to handle future demand. Ziegler said the pipes were re- viewed by the Department of Envi- romental Resources and approved. He added that eight inch pipes were large for sewers. He explained that the size is only one factor in determining the flow volume of a pipe. Another factor is the pitch the pipes are place at, according to Ziegler. Ziegler said the project has been based on the highest possible cost estimate, including all pipes being placed along the roadways. "We have the money available, but we are looking to save the sewer au- thority and the residents money," he said. By SCOTT A. DAVIS ‘Post Staff -, The Jackson Township sewer project is well underway, with work completed on Hillside Road and construction in progress , along Chase Road up to the township fire hall. The “Sewage Collection and Conveyance Project” will con- nect Jackson Township homes # to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority waste treatment plant _in Trucksville. : The $3.8 million project, con- tracted to Linde Enterprises of Honesdale, involves placing a network of eight-inch sewage pipes throughout the area. The pipes will be connected to the homeowners’ septic tank hook- ups. Residents are responsible for the cost to hook up to the sys- tem. They will apparently also be responsible for the removal or Jackson sewer project moves on to Chase Road filling in of their septic tanks. The project has been man- dated by the Department of Enviromental Resources. According to Jack Ziegler of the Luzerne County Redevelop- ment Authority, the septic tanks are being replaced because they are contaminating the area's water supply. Of the $3.8 million needed to complete the project, $2,515,890 will be paid by federal funding. Another $983,505 will be paid through a PennVest loan ob- tained by the township. Since crews are now digging up roads in the Chase Road area to place pipes, motorists are urged to avoid the area if pos- sible. Motorists who must travel in the Chase Road area should expect delays. Final paving of roads can take place after atleast a 90-day wait- Irem Outdoor Ceremonial features walking "hot Sands" A class of 91 candidates designated as the Harold B.
