North East to Double Reservoir Capacity and Local Elections
Twenty years ago the North East borough pursued a project with M Lave & Son Co of Corry to add to the town reservoir, doubling capacity, while town officials moved to remove a menace costing hundreds of thousands of dollars over receding years.
