The Warwick Water Authority
is slated next week to review the
plans for a public water system
which would cover most of War­wick
Township. ■
The -authority plans to extend
-the public water system to more
than 1,000 properties in eight
sections of Warwick Township
by the end of 1971, according to
Raymond L. Kingcaid, Lititz
RD4, authority chairman.
Tracy Engineering Inc. of Le-moyne
is scheduled to review the
preliminary working plans at the
authority’s 7:30 p.m. meeting
next Wednesday (Oct. 21) at the
Warwick Township building on
Clay Road, Kingcaid said.
Richard I. Hoffer, Warwick
Township supervisor, said the
supervisors plans to be at next
week’s authority meeting, but
otherwise haven’t met on the new
water plan. He said that both the
authority and the supervisors
would have -to approve -the final
plan, however.
There 'are now two vacancies
-on the water authority and
Hoffer said these will be filled
late this week.
• The new system, Kingcaid said,
is designed to cover the following
eight areas in Warwick Town­ship:

- A reunion in Norway was the
start of a thrilling eleven weeks
in the land of the Northern
Lights for 19-year-old Cathy
Rannels, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Donald Rannels, 123 S.
Spruce St.
Several years ago, Viggo Ol­sen
was a guest of the Rannels
family when he was an ex­change
student at Warwick
High. School, and he invited
Cathy to visit his family in Nor­way.
So, this summer, Cathy flew
to London where Viggo met
her. They toured London four-days,
then flew to Bergen in
Norway where they stayed a
few more days.
From Bergen to Oslo by train
was a scenic-filled trip for
Cathy, with many waterfalls
and a stop at beautiful Flam.
After spending a day in Oslo,
they took another train to
Trondheim, where they em­barked
on a coastal .steamer to
Boda.
On this trip Cathy and .her.
companions saw the fjords for
which Norway is famous. At
Harstad, they stayed with some -
of Viggo’s relatives, then got
back on the steamer to Oks-fjord.
, -
Viggo’s family met her there
and took her to Alta, th eir.
home, where she stayed* eight
weeks. Then, she went back to
Oslo for a week. From there,
she flew, to London and then
home. Her trip was made by
Penn State chartered flight.

street, and then proceed east on
Orange to Cedar Street.
The route will then turn north
on Cedar Street and continue to
Main Street.
The parade will then move
west Main to Broad again where
the groups will -disband.
The second trip down Main
Street will have the paraders
pass the judges stand for a sec­ond
time.
Persons with questions con­cerning
the parade should direct
their inquiries to Jim Perin-i,

tie Norwegian before leaving
on her trip, Cathy picked up the
language so quickly that she
came home .with an accent.
“It was so exciting and
there’s so much to tell, I’ve
been talking ever since I got
home,” she laughed.
Hikes, fishing trips and a
visit to Finland and Sweden
were among the highlights of
her stay in Norway.
One side trip took them to
North Cape, the Northernmost
part of Europe. “There were no.
roads; we had to take the fer­ry,”
Cathy explained. They

manly intended to bring -the two
new authority members up to
date on the plans.
Greenlund said there will he
another two months of surveying
before the results will be put on
-paper.
In his comments, Kingcaid had
indicated an earlier date for the
final drawings. Kingcaid said he
'was hoping for the final plans in
about -two months, but Green­lund
indicated -his firm can’t have
all the data by that time.
Water Source
Asked about the water source
for the new system, Kingcaid
said plans are to get the water
from Lititz Borough on a bulk
basis. The authority has a written
agreement that the borough will
supply water -on this basts, King­caid
said.
Asked if the borough has
enough water to meet me Town­ship’s
needs, Kingcaid recalled
that -the borough about tii.ee
years ago drilled two new wells
in -the area of the present ber-toma
Park. -Based on tests made
then, just -one of these wens
■would meet the -township’s needs,
he said.
The feasibility study showed
-that even with 1,600 customers
the township’s ■ water needs
would toe -only 448,000 gallons
per day, whereas one of the two
borough wells would supply
500,000 gallons a day. The feasi­bility
study showed only 1,020
customers initially for the new
system.
“Water supply isn’t.seen as a
problem at all,” Kingcaid said.
An agreement will have to be
reached with the borough on the
price of the water, Kingcaid in­dicated.
George Steedle, borough man­ager,
said only six properties
in Warwick Township now have
borough water.
On the subject -of maintenance
oi the Warwick water system,
Kingcaid said it could be handl­ed
in various ways. The -authority
could sublet the maintenance to
-the borough 'or the township.
Kingcaid said the engineers
have been in Warwick Township
for the past month locating
bench marks. .These are the
basic marks established by the
federal government and used in
surveying.
The firm will be doing aerial
-photography and mapping after
the leaves are off, Kingcaid said.
Future Timetable
Kingcaid said it is hoped -the
Outlining the future timetable,
engineer will lay out the details,
down to the location -of tire hy­drants,”
within a couple of
months.
Firm cost figures are also ex­pected
within two months and it
is hoped the project will' be out
for bids by Spring.
The lines are slated to be laid
by next Summer.
Although Warwick Township
isn’t considered a poverty area,
the Authority is seeking federal
funding for the project and there
are “still some possibilities./’
Kingcaid said.
Past Action
A Citizens Water Committee
was created about four years ago
by the township supervisors and
in 1968, Tracy Engineering was
authorized to proceed with a
feasibility study.
In May 1969, the authority was
created.
In August, the authority autho­rized
the Lemoyne firm to pro­ceed
with the design for the new
-water system.
\ Greenlund said his firm has
been active in designing water
and sewer work all over Pennsyl­vania
including: sewage treat­ment

Lititz Borough Collects'$36,715
From Occupational Privilege Tax,
Starts Getting 1971 Budget Data
Lititz Borough has collected
$36,715 from the $10 occupa­tional
privilege -tax so far in
1970, George Steedle, borough
manager, said this week.
Steedle said he anticipates the
collections will come to about
the $38,500 budget figure toy
year-end.
The tax is in its second year.
Last year, the borough collected
$37,390.
Commenting on the overall
budget situation, Steedle said he
anticipates that both the
borough’s income - and - expendi­tures
will just about match the
budget figures for the year. The
borough went into the year with
a relatively small surplus of
about $2,000.
