Lake Voters
Okay Sewer
Bond Issue
LAKEVIEW Voters of the town
of Lakeview cast their ballots on
Tuesday at a special election, in
favor of sale of special obligation
bonds for the improvement and
expansion of the city sewer sys
tem. While the turnout of voters
was small, 233 out of 1672. those
who voted were 187 in favor and
46 against.
The favorable vote authorizes
the town council to issue $160,000
in general obligation bonds, but
that does not mean that the full
amount will be sold, a cording to
Mayor Howard Goodnough. The
sale amount will be determined
when the contracts for the work
are accepted. The council also has
asked for a federal grant to as
sist in the project.
The 10-year bond issue will be
used to lay two new trunk sewer
lines, two pumping stations and
two sewage disposal lagoons. Use
of the present disposal plant would
be eliminated and adequate dispo
sal would be provided so that sur
face water now getting into tht
present, during various times of
the year the surface water in
creases the volume at the disposal
plant lo the point where some sew
age could not he disposed of and
a health hazard is created. Con
version to the lagoon system was
determined by the city fathers to
be a cheaper and more effective
way to solve the problem rather
than an estimated $348,000 to re
place the present sewer pipes.
Bather than levy a tax lo repay
Ihe bonds, the council plans to in
crease the monthly sewer service
charge until the bond issue is paid
off.
Under the new plans the north
section of Lakeview will be
brought into the system and build
ing permits, which cannot now be
secured because of the sanitation
problem, can again be issued when
facilities are declared adequate.
Toward this end, the council has
created a sewer district in that
section of town and arranged for
the sale of Bancroft plan bonds up
to $17,000 to lay sewer laterals.
Residents of this section would
repay this issue.
Other areas adjacent to the city
can, if they wish, create their own
sewer districts and tax themselves
for installation of sewer laterals
in order to use the lagoon system.
With 30 days needed to adver
tise for bids, it is estimated that
construction will not actually start
before August 1.
