Calabash T
For Water !
BY DOUG RUTTER
Following a 25-minute executive
session Monday, Calabash Town
Council authorized Mayor Doug Simmons
to sign a work specification
contract allowing the town to accept
bids for its water system.
The executive session was requested
by Town Attorney Mike
Ramos to discuss contractual matters
pertaining to the system.
Also Monday, consulting engineer
Alan Lewis presented council
members with state-approved plans.
The plans call for a county water line
extension to Ivey High Road, Oak
Street and Nance Street, which fail
under Phas? I, as well as extension of
lines to Riverview Drive which has
been planned for the next phase.
Before reviewing final water
system plans with council, Lewis
presented letters to the board
members which he said contained
two separate estimates for bids, for
Phase I and for the entire planned
project.
"I think it would be wise to keep
this information confidential at least
until we accept the bids," said Lewis.
"Contractors would love to get their
hands on this information."
Council is expected to open bids
and award the contract at its Jan. 25
meeting.

Currently, there are only two other
members on the planning board, Bob
Crocker and Betty Weidmaier.
Crocker also lives within the e.t.a.,
while Mrs. Weidmaier resides within

without a building inspector on Jan.

a probationary certificate, is required
to pass a state certification
