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.

-, 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-

“She just ignored (the under-
graduate),” one source said. “She
spent a lot of time with Rich.”
Both sources said the under-
classman became angry, grabbed
the girl, and left the party. The two
sources said Hillman left shortly
after, drinking from a bottle of
whiskey.
“He was very upset about (the
girl) leaving with (the underclass-
man),” the second source said.
Both sources said kegs of beer
were left unsupervised at the party,
and several underage poeple were
drinking.
According to both sources, the
undergraduate was not drinking,
but they said Hillman became in-
toxicated at the party.
After leaving the party, the
undergraduate and the girl arrived
together at another graduation
in the Lakeside section of
Lake Silkworth, according to two
sources who said they were at that
party.
One of the sources said the
undergraduate and the girl arrived
sometime after 9 p.m. “They were
arguing with each other,” the

Hillman arrived at the party shortly
after the undergraduate. The two
men became engaged in an argu-
ment, according to both sources.
Neither was sure what the argu-
ment was about.
Both sources described Hillman
as “visibly drunk.” The two also
said the undergraduate did not
appear to be drinking alcohol.
After an intense argument be-
tween the two men, the under-
graduate left the party saying he
‘was going home, according to both
sources.
They said that Hillman left soon
after in a car occupied by several
other individuals. :
“He was extremely upset,” said
one of the sources.
