wells there, and Dave Anderson, Director of Public

“The Lititz water supply
appears to be adequate at
this time,” remarked Dave
Anderson Director of Public
Services for the borough of
Lititz, Monday. “We an­ticipate
no bans on water use
in the borough.”
“Lititz depends on ground
water for the main source of
supply and there are six
wells serving the com­munity,”
he explained. Two
of the wells are located on
Locust St., near the park and
the other four are behind
Lititz Springs Park. “The
fact that Lititz Run still has
water running in it in places
is indicative of the water
level since it is a spring-fed
creek,” Anderson said.
“We anticipate no bans in
the Borough, but as a caution
we suggest that water not be
wasted,” he emphasized.
Manheim borough officials
imposed a mandatory ban on
all unnecessary use of water
last Friday. Dan Lane,
borough manager, said
violators will be prosecuted
and fined $100 for un­necessary
use of water such
as washing cars and trucks;
watering flowering beds,
trees, gardens and lawns;
washing of driveways,
sidewalks and porches; and

Streets Closed
According to Gary
Dubbs of Glace & Glace,
two work crews are now
working to put sewer
lines in on streets in the
Woodcrest Develop­ment.
Dubbs also said that
one crew is working on
Church S tre e t in

completion of the work
on Church St., the crews
will move on to Route

Although the two boroughs
are close together, Lititz sits,
on a fine basin of water,
according to Anderson.
Manheim’s main source of
water is surface water,
gotten either from Rife Run,
which is dammed to control
supply, or a quarry, which is
the auxiliary source.
Because of the continuous
drought, Manheim borough
officials had imposed a
voluntary ban, but according
to Lane, the ban and the lack
of rain failed to reduce water
consumption.
E a rlie r this summer
Manheim officials had asked
two officials, Raybestos-
Manhattan Co. and the
Fuller Co., to switch over to
their own wells, rather than
continue using borough
water.
Manheim’s compulsory
water restriction is the third
such ban in Lancaster
County. The Department of
Environmental Resources
announced that more than
100 public water suppliers in
25 counties in Eastern
Pennsylvania have imposed
restrictions on water usage
as a result of the current
drought, with about 25 of the
suppliers experiencing
severe shortages.
“The next two weeks are
critical,” said John Mc-
Sparren, director of DER’s
Bureau of Resources
Programming. “ Most
suppliers have indicated that
significant rainfall is needed
during this period to avoid
widespread shortages.”
Water suppliers relying on
groundwater in Mon­tgomery,
Chester, and
Bucks counties, have faced
falling water levels in wells
for several months.
Anderson reports that
Lititz is currently pumping
from only three of the six
wells available to supply
water.
This doesn’t mean you
should rush out and wash
your house. The caution
from the Borough Offices
stands. “Don’t waste
water.”
One of the four wells at the water works at Lititz Springs Park which is
providing water for the borough during the drought. Lititz depends on ground
water for its supply, whereas Manheim, which has imposed restrictions and
fines on water waste, depends on surface water for its supply.
On Possible Grants, Loans
Good Turnout At Public Hearing
Approximately 36 persons
turned out last Wednesday
night to hear Randy Pat­terson
of the Lancaster
County Redevelopment
Authority (L a n c a s te r
County Community
Development Program)
outline the procedures to be
followed in order to receive
possible grants, deferred
loans and low interest loans
to property owners with low
or moderate incomes. These
funds must be used only for
sewer hookups (plumbing
and connection fees) to the
Warwick Township Sewer
System.
According to Patterson,
the supervisors will have to
make a request for “X”
number of dollars in funds
by Nov. 14, 1980. The
supervisors indicated they
would do so.
The funds have to be used
strictly for sewer hookups
and nothing else.
If you fall within the
guidelines published in the
Sept. 11 Record Express,
and feel you would like to
apply, you should call the
Wawick Township Municipal
Building at 626-8900 between
9 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily
before November 1 and give
your name, address, and
phone number and you will
then be contacted. If and
when the time comes to
apply and you need tran­sportation,
call the Township
and they will provide ,
transportation for you.
The loans and grants will
be applied on a first-come
first-serve basis. There will
be no favoritism shown. All
applications must be for
owner-occupied dwellings.
Any funds received by the
Township are contingent
upon approval by the Lan­caster
County Community
Development Program. A
public hearing will be held at
the Ephrata High School on
October 8 at which time all
area requests for funds will
be reviewed. The super­visors
urge all that are
eligible for loans and grants
to attend this meeting. The '
more that attend, the better
the possibility the Township
will receive funds. Another
meeting is scheduled for
March 4,1981.
If the funds are approved,
the supervisors will make a
request for those funds by
November 14, 1980. The
County Commissioners will
act in March, 1981. The
Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) should
approve the funds by June,
1981. The applications will
then be reviewed and the
money should be received by
August 1981.
No work may be started
until actual approval of the
application. Should the
sewer system be finished
before the funds are
available, the Warwick
With soaring inflation
threatening the dream of
many parents to provide a
college education for then-children,
Commonwealth
National Bank’s Trust
Division has developed a
new concept that can ease
financial preparation for a
child’s education. Titled
“ The E d u c a to r ,’ ’ the
program is specifically
designed to maximize the
growth of personal trust
funds invested for the child.
“By starting The Educator
program with a relatively
modest initial contribution,
parents can be assured of
having funds available when
their child is of college age,”
said Richard B. Evans,
, manager of the bank’s Trust
Division.
Not just a savings
program, The Educator
utilizes the capabilities of
Commonwealth National’s
Trust Division to provide
diversified avenues of in­vestment.
The customer will
be able to watch the child’s
funds grow from monthly
deposits and the ac­cumulation
of interest or
dividends with little personal
time or effort involved.
Township supervisors said
they will work with the
municipal authority to meet
the deadlines. If the
supervisors know a person
has an application pending,
they wifi take that into
consideration. The super­visors
indicated that they
would go along with the
applicant regarding late
hookups.
Back To School
Night Date Changed
The Warwick Middle
School Back-to-School
night for parents has
been ch an g ed to
Thursday, October 9 at
7:30.
The Trust Division
sianages the funds to
achieve maximum yields
and to meet a customer’s
financial objectives.
“Also, some trust accounts
at a bank can be designed to
save on taxes,” Evans said,
adding that, “The Educator
is intended to achieve the
highest possible yields safely
while holding down taxes;
even during periods of un­controllable
inflation or wide
economic fluctuations. ” S
The Educator program
can be of help not only in
sending a child to college but
in r e c e iv in g o th e r
specialized training, or by
providing for an educational
trip overseas, or even by
establishing one’s child in a
business venture.
