WATER MAIN ON GOVERNORS AVENUE

WATER FOR HARLEY TAYLOR’S DEVELOPMENT

Council approved the installation of an eight inch water line from the present water storage tank on Division Street to a point at the beginning of Harley Taylor’s development on Walker Road west of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at a cost of about $35,000.00; provided that the owner shall place on deposit with the City of Dover the sum of $25,000.00 before construction of the water main is started. The overall cost of the job will ultimately be paid one-third by the City of Dover and two-thirds by the development.

SEWER FOR HARLEY TAYLOR’S DEVELOPMENT

Council rejected the request of Harley Taylor to extend a sewer line to the development on Walker Road west of the Pennsylvania Railroad because of the present overloaded condition of the City sewage disposal plant and because of the prohibitive cost of the suggested project.
