Saturday, August 24, the com- pany said that it was going to « improve service by drilling a new well - just as soon as it can pur- chase some land to put the well on. “I'm not going to tell you that you're getting great service. You're not,” said Joe Dysard, central district manager for General Waterworks, which purchased the Harveys Lake Water Company in May, 1990, along with the Dallas, Shavertown and Noxen water companies. According to Dysard, the com- ET A ET IR 4 1 By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff ALR + Solidarity was the password at . a meeting held by Attorney Gifford {Cappellini Monday, Aug. 26, to 1 organize a class action suit against : the Dallas Area Municipal Author- {ity (DAMA). i Cappellini told over 200 resi- ! dents who gathered at the Carver- ‘ton United Methodist Church to y pay who they want to haul their { trash, and not pay DAMA if they it zsren’t using the service. { ? “What are they going to do, round {up hundreds and thousands of : people for not paying their bills? ‘ That's one approach, but we have ! to stand firm,” said Cappellini, who lives in Orchard View Terrace, ! Dallas Township. “I got my bill two : days ago and my bill has already . been torn up and thrown away.” Cappellini said he'd like to have : the suit filed sometime within the ' next 30 days. He said the primary . allegation of the suit will be that . DAMA infringed upon the residents ' right to make contracts, and keep . contracts which already exist. “We're not charging legal fees,” Lawyer tells residents, don't pay Trash protesters ready for showdown said Cappellini. “We’ll estimate what it will cost for photo copies and maybe court costs. That should be minimal.” “I'm not going to guarantee a result here,” said Cappellini. “But something is rotten in the state of Denmark. It doesn't feel right in our gut.” Cappellini said that he will be gathering five to ten residents, representing each of the munici- palities involved to represent the entire group. “If it doesn’t work legally, then we can do it politically,” said Cap- pellini. “But we all have to stick together.” He recommended that the resi- dents flex their political muscle by rustling up some write-in candi- dates for the November general election. “At some point, your group should institute a non-profit group to prevent this from happening again,” said Cappellini. “This hap- pened because we were all caught off guard.” Cappellini also suggested a pri- vate detective be hired to make sure the recycable items being pany’s problems in providing good service spring from the location of its well - in the traffic island where Route 415 meets Harveys Lake. The company does not own the land the well is located on, and can't make any large improve- ments to it. Among problems cited by the approximately 25 residents who attended the meeting were fre- quent water outages and a chlo- collected are being recycled, and a scientific public opinion poll be taken on DAMA's trash plan. DAMA gave a $2 million, 30- month exclusive contract to Dan- ella Environmental Technologies to collect waste and recycables in Kingston Township, Dallas Town- ship and Dallas Borough. Resi- dents pay $135 a year for the col- lection of two bags a week, with DAMA receiving an additional $1.50 for each extra bag. But one man at the meeting was a little leery of simply not paying his bills for a long period of time. “I don’t like the idea of not pay- ing bills,” said Stanislaw Haczynski, Dallas Township, at the meeting. “Why don't we put the money in an escrow account. Why don’t we pay the money to a third party and when it’s over we pay it, or we get it back?” “The gentleman has a good idea, but there's a lot of problems with that,” said Cappellini, citing the difficulty in choosing someone to administer the account, and add- ing that some can't afford the bills in the first place. rine taste in the water. The company would like to drill a well in the Carpenter Road area uphill from the company’s cus- tomers, and include a storage tank so during power outages, custom- ers would still have water provided by the force of gravity. “If we can get a piece of property in the next couple of months, it ought to be done by April,” said Dysard. Dysard said customers’ rates will not increase until the improve- ments are made, though a sur- charge has been added to their bills to cover increased state taxes on utilities. Until this spring, the company pumped water from its well to a small covered reservoir at the cor- ner of Hillside and Ridge avenues, and used gravity to provide cus- tomers with 6 to 9 pounds of water pressure. The roof of the reservoir is caving in, and fearing the reser- voir would be contaminated, the company switched to pumping water to homes directly from the well, and increased water pressure, | MORE CAR FOR YOU Obituaries ®OHN BOMBA John L.
