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.
