The Borough Authority is to be congratulated for its courage to take this step. It is an expensive step, takem with fear and almost trembling. Yet, in the 1960’s things are not as they were 20 years ago, not even as they were 10 years ago. If Mount Joy is to grow and prosper, water in large quantities must be available. When it comes to signing the contracts, borrowing the money and developing the Florin Water system, the Auth- ority, within the bounds of reasonable conservatism should not look back. Look forward. The water Mount Joy can provide for itself now, ie water which may keep us going when some other boroughs in the area are bending every physical effort to keep the dust out of their water pipes. People who have been on the “inside” of recent studies of) the water problem in this area are willing to bet that within the not too distant future some communities in the area which now believe that they have adequate water will be pumping out of the Susquehanna river. When they do, the investment will be terrific and the cost of water will be high. Such a situation sounds now like a dream. But, as the years roll on and water supplies continue to be harder and harder to maintain, many who now are gritting their teeth a? the 1966 cost will be glad that Mount Joy has water when others are either parched or paying. sk * bo sh Lititz Sees Need For Additional Water If there is one single vital ingredient for communi- ty growth and well being, it is water! ; No other necessity is more difficult to come by or becomes more important when the supply runs low. Mount Joy has faced up to the problem in this bor- ough. Others must do the same thing. Here follows the thoughts of the editorial writer of the ‘ Lititz Reeord’ as his community takes a look at its water supply: Borough lL.ooks Ahead On Water According to a statement released last week to The Record by Borough Manager George D.-Steedle, a stu- dy of the water situation in Lititz points up the need for an additional well to handle -the anticipated popu- lation growth and increased customer use. The study shows that the present water supply is adequate for immediate needs, but two problems are pinpointed. One, the natural forcees which replenish our underground water supply are operating at a slight deficit. Two, the number of customers drawing on that supply has increased, and is expected to continue to in- crease in the coming years. We congratulate the Borough for having the fore- sight to tackle this problem before it reaches serious proportions. Some areas have neglected this responsi- bility, secure in the knowledge that their immediate needs were provided for. Suddenly, they have found themselves without water and wondered what went wrong. Also, in seeking an additional water supply, the Borough shows wisdom in planning to tap some source other than the central underground reservoir which now supplies our four wells. Another well in the same area would simply lower that supply at a faster rate, as the study suggests. Most of us will live to see the day when the avail- ability of water will be of far greater concern in our everyday lives than is presently the case. The commu- nities that don’t look ahead today on this vital matter may not only be out of luck at some future date, they may also be out of water.
