County Urged to Act on $100,000 Water Aid Plan
Adams County faces loss of state and federal funds if a county wide water plan is not implemented. Pelligrini told the Community Relations Committee that a Harrisburg meeting with DEA officials highlighted funds for a demonstration project to ease water problems in Abbots town Bonneauville and Littlestown. Rep Kenneth J Cole said $100,000 is available if a county office is created to run the plan. The CRC plans to push commissioners to grant authority and act by December before state wide reviews end.
