New Water Line Request For West View Subdivision
Carbondale City Council heard a request to extend a water main to the West View subdivision west of Hillcrest on West Chautauqua Street. Kenneth Yow and R. R. Colp are developing the 34 lot area. The extension would be about 1,000 feet at roughly $3 per foot, with developers to install laterals. A funding shortfall was noted as the city has no funds on hand, and council members pledged to seek money. Grading would finish in 30 days and water service would be needed during curb and gutter work.
