Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, July 18, 2002 Harveys Lake (continued from page 1) “We've protected this lake for too long,” said Niskey. “We've got to do something about it.” Harveys Lake Mayor Rick Boice agreed with Niskey, saying the general municipal authority has tried to get lakefront home- owners to stop pumping water out of their basements and into the sewer lines, but have not re- ceived much help from the resi- dents. He said he was not aware of any polluting actions of any clean-up crews. Boice said one of the only so- lutions may be to spend over $1 million to install wider sewer lines in the borough if the resi- dents don’t agree to drain storm water onto their lawns. But Niskey told the council he is aware of a number of ways to find out where illegal storm wa- ter runoff is entering the sewer lines, and although the borough may have ‘to foot an expensive bill in the end, the solution is more fair to all residents than spending millions to enlarge sewer lines. “(Fixing the problem) is expen- sive,” Niskey told the council. “But so is this lake and my property value.” Councilman Joe Reilly said the best possible solution would be to take the issue up with the “We've protected this lake for ico long. We've got Io | do Se about it. ” Jay Nisksy Harveys Lake Protective Ass'n Environmental Action Commit- tee; that way recommendations could be made to the council.

An abandoned vehicle ordi- nance was passed, limiting the amount of time a vehicle may be parked in a single spot in the borough for any extended period of time, while a tower ordinance was passed, regulating the in- stallation of wireless phone tow- ers in the borough. of mo Pascoe recognized for 30 years of service at SCl-Dallas Superintendent Thomas Lavan and the Department of Corrections recently recognized Officer Phil Pascoe for his 30 years of service to the citizens of Pennsylvania.
