Town extends water service

Posted

SILVERHILL — The Town of Silverhill will extend water service in certain parts of town following a vote Monday night.

The total project will cost about $40,000, said Superintendent of Utilities Steve Williams, and would include running 8-inch line on Bohemian Hall Road and 6-inch line on Oswalt Lane and Sedlack Road.

The council voted to use $24,000 of money provided by a Citizens’ Bank loan to help pay for the cost of the project. The rest of the project can be paid for by tapping fees and by project development.

Williams also asked council members Monday night to consider adding funding for a project at town hall in the next year’s fiscal budget. The project, which would cost an estimated $10,000, would include sidewalk improvements, a marble sign and landscaping in front of town hall.

The project would also use lights and poles donated to the town by the city of Orange Beach.

In other business Monday night, the council:

— Voted to update the town’s cell phones. Five phones would be provided to the town for the cost of shipping, $12.

— Voted to authorize Officer Kim Wasdin to purchase glo sticks and Halloween favors to be handed out at town hall at a cost not to exceed $200.

— Voted to purchase a full-page ad in the annual Angel Ride program at a cost of $150.

— Voted to sponsor advertising on Silverhill Elementary School’s spirit T-shirts at a cost of $200.

— Tabled a measure to grant district approval to Merchants Capital of Montgomery for a residential project within the town’s five-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. The county will oversee the contract, which would allow the project to receive Federal tax break. The city of Fairhope has also been approached about the project on Highway 104. Mayor Tim Wilson asked that the town’s attorney be allowed to look over the contract before approval.

— Authorized town clerk Bonnie McNeil to transfer funds into dormant accounts.

— Received an invitation from the South Baldwin Center for Technology to attend the school’s Character Education Parent and Community Day from 8:15 to 10:45 a.m. and from 12:15 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12 at the school, located off College Avenue next to Robertsdale Elementary School.
