Townhouses under dispute over water oversizing costs
Morrow accuses regional works staff of blackmail over an illegal water hook up at a Georgetown Maple Avenue project. With 25 families in a 40 unit complex, the fight centers on a 10,000 oversizing bill sought from builder Al Pilutti, who says a 1974 development agreement omits this requirement. The case hinges on rezoning talks, pricing, and whether the region or developer pays for the oversized water mains.
