Lititz Borough Council approved
the final plans for the new Warwick
Elementary School at Tuesday
night’s meeting on five conditions.
A letter from HRG, Inc., must be
submitted to the borough regarding a
construction estimate, the solicitor
must reveiw the maintenance agree­ment
for Front Street and ownership
certificates must be signed and pre­sented
to the borough engineer.
Council also urged John Love, of
HRG,Inc., to re-consider the plan for
the storm drainage system. Rather
than continue to flow against the
Lititz Run stream, council suggested
that the system be altered so the
water flows downstream. If it does
not conflict with other utilities, the
system may be moved from the west
side of the street to the east side.
In the fifth issue, the school district
must agree to provide funding and
support for a traffic light at the corner
of Main and Oak Streets in the near
future. Council plans to contact Pen-nDot
requesting that they do a study
of the intersection and grant approval
to install a light if it meets the neces­sary
warrants. Although the school
district and borough plan to provide
some funding for the project, Love
suggested applying for a 1994 county
grant.
Continuing the discussion from
previous meetings, council consid­ered
the water and sewer tapping fee
for the new school. Based on date

This figure allowed for a peak period
during the course of a normal day.
Suggesting that the engineer base
the fee on 4 gallons of water per-student-
per-day, Superintendent Dr.
John Bonfield told council that
$94,000 is an “excessive amount” to
charge for a tapping fee.
Councilman Stuckey, however,
said 13 gallons is a reasonable figure
considering the use of the cafeteria,
restrooms and drinking fountains.
Council accepted Brown’s figures

“Killer bees” will swarm above
the Lititz Springs Park on Saturday
night — filling the skies with a color­ful
buzz.
But no need to worry, these insects
tire of the entertaining, not the sting­ing
variety. The bees are just one of
the many pyrotechnic extravangan-xas
scheduled to illuminate the skies
during the Lititz Springs Park Fourth
of July Firework display.
Once again, Fireworks Produc­tions,
Inc. of Lititz will provide the,
spectacular flood of colors and
sounds to culminate the annual
observance kicked off Wednesday
night with the second annual Lititz
“Lilacs” Softball Tournament. Local
churches will continue play Thurs­day
and Friday before competing in

works — so the best vantage point
for the show will be from inside the
park.
The main event — the fireworks
on Saturday, July 3 — are scheduled
to begin around 10:30 p.m. On Fri- ■
day, July 2 at 10 p.m. a short display
will serve as a prelude to the works.
But fireworks aren’t the sole rea­son
why parkgoers can have a blast
