,1 Page 10-A?THE BRUNSWICK BE AC Shallo BY SUSAN USHER Shsllctte residents don't hsvc to pay sewer charges any more on extraordinary water consumption such as line breakages or the filling of a swimming pool. Town aldermen adopted a policy last Wednesday night that allows sewer adjustments under specific circumstances. It also allows property owners to install a second meter to register water used for watering lawn and garden, washing cars and the like. Sewer billing Ls based on 90 percent of a household's water usage. Several residents had complained that when a water line breaks they shouldn't have to pay sewage on water tliat was used but didn't enter the sewer system.

If a line breaks, the sewer bill for that month will be based an average of prior months' bills. It also allows a one-time-a-yearonly sewer adjustment for the filling of a swimming pool. The town has the ability to meter the filling of a pool through a fire hydrant, but a lot of people prefer to fill their pool with a water hose, said Superintendent Albert Hughes. Households that choose to install a yard meter must place it just behind the existing town water meter so that the reading on the yard meter can be readily subtracted from that of the household use meter. The meter can be installed by the resident or a plumber, subject to iaspection and Of Events , Huai u uf Trustees meet in the beard I grounds committee meets at 6 p.m. n Post one mile south of Shallotte on ng of Cape Fear Production Credit ral I-and Hank Association at the loriuin in Fayetteville, 7 p.m. KiUAI) sells pit-cooked barbecue and 9 one inile north of Calabash, starting or more plates, call 579-7475.

"I don't believe many people will do it, but I think we should allow thern the opportunity," said Alderman David Cause. The meters are to be purchased from the town and will cost about $36 to $38. Depending on usage, Hughes said, the cost of installation could be recovered within a year's time. Pressure Said Low Shallotte firefighters are concerned about extremely low flow pressure on the N.C. 130 line that serves West Brunswick High School and will soon serve the new Shallotte Manor apartments. While static pressure was consistent at 50 pounds all over town during a recent fire department inspection of 10 hydrants, firefighters found the flow pressure "grossly inadequate" between the two meters. They are situated on the longest stretch of 6-inch line in town. While most meters registered 22 lbs. to 23 lbs., this pair registered nine pounds, Mayor Hewctt reported, and will be "worse" when the apartments arc occupied and demand increases. Hewctt will investigate several possibilities, including a tap between the town 6-inch line and the county's 12-inch line since the town line serves a county school located outside its limits. The fire department recommends thai new lines uii major thoroughfares be of 8-inc'n diameter rather than 6-inch. The hydrant inspections were con ducted in conjunction with efforts by the department tc obtain a lower rating for insurance purposes.

Traffic Lights Aldermen agreed reluctantly, on a motion by Wilton Harrelson, to close the ABC store entrance on U.S. 17 as part of the N.C. Department of Transportation's traffic control plan for Wall Street and Shallotte Avenue. Harrelson's motion included a request for DOT to look at alternatives. Since the intersection doesn't "square up," explained the mayor, "that was the only way they could figure out to do it in three hours of worn, ugnis conirouing ananoue Avenue traffic would be located at the present ABC Store entrance. Other Business In other business, aldermen: Authorized, following a brief executive session with Chief Wayne Campbell, advertising to fill a patrol vacancy in the police department. Advised Campbell he needed to advertise the old police car for sale, rather than taking informal bids. Annexed into town on petition, following a public hearing at which no one spoke, five lots in Brierwood Estates. Instructed the mayor to try to negotiate as long-term a lease as possible with Leonard Rourk for the Shall cite Park site where Sur*nvs'dp building is located, or. the understanding the town would pay all property taxes on it and preferably with a oneyear notice of termination. Rourk, following the expiration of the current lease, proposed leaving the building without a lease, with the town to assume tax liability. i:i=niiM=a thly Pay nee Chai llliv 'RS ? ? w immum linancing under our retail mstailni sail Corporation Oiler empires Apr:! 30 SHI I R S L 33R [.

Agreed to participate in Clean-Up Week sponsored April 21-27 by the N.C. Department of Transportation. Residents can call the town liall to arrange special pickups; community service workers may help pick up litter. Referred to the planning and zoning board a request from Earlene I (Pet) Bellamy to rezor.e property across from Calvary Baptist Church from R-10 to commercial and to annex the part lying outside town limits. Property to the north of hers already is zoned commercial. Heard a request from former reserve officer Eddie Reynolds for aid in obtaining permanent state lawenforcement certification after Chief Wayne Campbell iuiu advised it was "against his better judgment" to recommend Reynolds. Because the state also has no record of Reynolds having worked for the town more than a year, he also lass of all certification and having to return to school. The board delayed action since Reynolds said a state certification official was planning to check with the town. Heard that the Shallotte VFD met twice during the month and answered four vehicle and one grass fire call, inspected 10 hydrants and responded to two mutual aid calls from other departments.
