Lublanezki said for 11 months water has been leaking through the side of his building on Battleground Avenue, and it’s his belief that it’s coming from adjoining property “up the hill.” “It should have already been taken care of,” he told the Council. He said he has called city staff about the problem on numerous occasions and they have come out to inspect it, but have done nothing. City Manager Jimmy Maney said the city has made numer- ous attempts to find the source of the leak, but has been unsuc- cessful. He said there are a number of old water lines and abandoned underground gas tanks in the area and that the city will probably have to call in an outside consultant to deter- mine where the water is coming from. “The more we dig we find more tanks and lines,” Maney said. “The more we dig the more we run the risk of hitting an old underground tank and either causing an explosion or an environmental problem.” In another matter, Council - heard an update from Mayor Rick Murphrey on the city’s spring clean-up campaign. He said large trash containers will be placed at City Hall, the National Guard Armory, Public Works, and the Fire Museum on April 14-15 from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. and city staff will be on hand to accept garbage items from citi- zens. A schedule will be includ- ed in citizens’ utility bills and an advertisement in The Herald on April 7 will list items that cannot be accepted. Murphrey said the city is also working this week to beautify ~ all'entrarnices to the ¢ity. He said the city is setting up a special fund so organizations, business- es and individuals can support the effort. He also acknowl- edged a $100 gift from business- man Jim Zeurick, who chal- lenged other businesses to match it. Murphrey also noted that city representatives will meet with Gastonia Mayor Jennie Schultz, who is affiliated with the Keep America Beautiful Campaign. He said the city is considering joining the organization, and eventually hopes to work to- ward All-American City status. In cooperation with a statewide program, Council ap- proved April 7-20 as Litter Sweep in Kings Mountain and urged all citizens to participate in keeping roadsides clean and to reduce solid waste. Public Works Director Jackie Barnette said the State DOT makes avail- able trash bags, vests and gloves and invites the commu- nity to call the DOT at 480-5402 for more information on how they can help the effort. she was the daughter of the late Manuel A. and Amanda Oates Moss.
