Avon sewer lines laid but house hookups lagging
Avon Safety and Service Director John Smitek said sewers are installed and being tested, with a November 27 deadline for completion but many homes not yet hooked up. Homeowners must pay 1500 for tapping and monthly charges will be based on water meter readings, about 35 a month. Clearview levy tweaks discussed by Wayne Ross may reduce millage and bond levies, with discussion of returning to 1 mill for permanent improvements and two bond millage reductions in 1987 and 1988.
