8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 12, 1997 i | ‘Water (continued from page 1) “tomers stand right behind him. - On May 29 and May 30 he went to -his neighbors’ homes, recorded “their pressures between 7 and 9 p.m. and got their signed support. The recorded numbers ranged from 23 to 35 psi. «.«"No one refused to sign the petition,” said Kopcho. The peti- tion was turned in to the PUC. Pack said United Water has not received the petition. “< Pack said, “Our company un- derstands where Kopcho is com- ing from. We are looking into long-term solutions. We would like them (Westminster Dr. resi- dents) to have pressures they are satisfied with. We are looking for alternatives.” Pack said larger ~ booster stations are an option, but would most likely be built once the area above Westminster Drug policy (continued from page 1) eras was a lot of overkill. But, now I want to thank you for what you did with security in the district. I support your endeavors,” she said. In other business, Joel Sims of Quad Three Group, reported that construction on the soccer and baseball fields behind the high school will be delayed until spring. At arecent Dallas Township plan- ning commission location, resi- dents questioned if fields could be built on the A-1 zone land. until the planning commission and zoning board make a deci- sion. “We asked the contractor (Locust Ridge) to hold his price and wait until next spring,” said Sims. Gil Griffiths, superintendent, said some of the teams might have to double up on the fields. Building cannot commence months behind due to the fact we cannot get in (and build),” said Griffiths. The board voted to hire Rich- ard Morgan, former superinten- dent of buildings, to be the clerk of works for the new Gerald J. Wyecallis Elementary School. The job will pay S500 a week. Board members Joseph Kunec, James Richardson and Thomas Landon bid farewell as it was their last night serving on the board. None of the men ran for re-elec- started being developed. “I'm not sure where we'll go. If indeed we ‘do something, we'll do something ‘that benefits the larger part of the system.” Mary Blanc, who has lived on Westminster Dr. for four years, said she has never lived anywhere with such poor water pressure. “We have to be careful not to use too much at one time,” she said. But, water pressure is the lesser of her concerns. ; “I'm more concerned with the number of main breaks. They almost continuously have us un- der boil advisories that we're never told about. I highly question the quality of water,” said Blanc, who buys bottled water for cooking and drinking. She said she sup- ports Kopcho and was happy to sign the petition: » Pack said United Water uses radio, television and newspapers to inform people of boil adviso- ries. “I think as a utility we are very responsible as far as adviso- ries go,” he said. John Gregorski has lived on the street for 28 years and said he has lived with low water pressure the entire time. “I think it's a most preposterous suggestion given the level of service,” said Gregorski of the proposed rate increase. “This has been an ongoing problem. The shower process is rather te- dious because there isn’t much water flow.” Kopcho will take part in a tele- phone hearing on Dec. 2 with PUC administrative judge Richard Lovenwirth. Both Kopcho and United Water have retained legal representation.
