The Physician On Call Sunday Dr. John Gates VOL. L H, NO. 51 MOST Proposed Sewer System Will Cost A Million Dollars Preliminary Survey Shows Will Locate Trearment Plant On Former Roy Hoffman Farm Surveys now being made in- dicate that Mount Joy's propos- ed sewerage disposal will cost in excess of one mil- lion dollars, based on present- day costs, Sam Miller, authority head, announced today. The survey of grades has been completed and engineers now are engaged in preparing the blue prints for laying of the sewerage mains and for con- struction of the sewerage dis- posal plant. The sewerage disposal plant will be located on the former Roy Hoffman farm along Little Chickies Creek south of the borough. It also is being plan- ned to place many sewer mains along alleys and in the backyards as possible and thus prevent tearing up the main thoroughfares. It is hoped to be able to start actual work on the sewerage fa- cilities by the Spring of 1954. In the meantime, plans are be- ing made to finance the prelim- inary steps with the major ex- penditure to be financed thru a bond issue. as The only drawback encoun- tered over laying of mains in backyards along the north side of Main Street would be that this would interfere with future digging of cellars in this section it was pointed out this week. ———— Minor Repairs To Water System Yet To Be Made system | water | for Ce Improvements to the system in preparation laying of mains coming along very nicely with | only about 200 feet of water] mains remaining to be laid. All other mains have beon laid and are working. The only | exception is the 12-inch main| over the railroad bridge on Lumber Street and a short piece | of 16-inch pipe from Lumber] Street to the new standpipe. sewerage When the new standpipe goes ;! into operation, water pressure | over the entire town will be in- | creased about 20 pounds. This added pressure will be noticed with a much stronger flow of water from spigots-and in some | instances, by dislodging lime deposits from the inside of wa- ter pipes. A of be considerable amount minor repairs remain to made, such replacing ‘old. worn-out valves, leaking ser- vice pipes to homes and install. ation of a main pressure gauge in tre pumping station. This new gauge will show the | height of water in the standpipe at all times. At present the on- ly way the pumping engineer can tell how full the reservoir | is by a return pipe connected to the top of the reservoir. When | water runs from it, he ain} the reservoir .is full. — etl Cee mm as Radio Personality At Cross Roads Church On Friday Evening, May 29, 1953 at 7:30 p. m., at the Cross Roads Brethren in Christ Church.
