LOCK HAVEN Another step was taken recently in the city’s multi-year reservoir improvement project.
City council entered into a sales agreement which, if requirements are met, would see the city purchase one of its first of two supplemental water wells in Wayne Township.
The city is looking into the purchase of these wells to use when Keller Reservoir in Zindel Park is drained during the reconstruction of its spillway, City Manager Gregory Wilson said.
The first well, which a geologist has already explored, is situated on 9.1 acres of land at a cost of $200,000.
Wilson noted that the sale would only go through if the city drills successfully into the well and receives the required permits from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

City Hall – The New York City Council will vote today on legislation that requires the de Blasio Administration to create a plan to vaccinate homebound seniors for COVID-19. The pandemic has been particularly devastating to our seniors, especially those over 75-years-old who are at highest risk for hospitalization and death compared to all other age groups. Sadly, this population has had trouble getting vaccinated because of hurdles getting appointments as well as physical challenges getting to vaccines sites. This legislation will require the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, or another designated agency, to create a plan to vaccinate homebound seniors and provide a report to the Council after the plan has been implemented. The report would include the number of homebound seniors vaccinated, disaggregated by zip code, and outline any obstacles faced while implementing the plan.

I was one of nearly 500 Pennsylvanians who testified in support of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, RGGI, at virtual public hearings in December. Conducted by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, the 10 hearings over five days offered an online and phone-in option and could not have made it easier for Pennsylvanians to make their voices heard.
The virtual nature of the process meant testifiers were kept safe during a pandemic and literally walked the walk as the collective carbon footprint from traveling to in-person hearings was eliminated.
As a chemical engineer with 40 years of experience often in support of fossil fuel industries I believe I understand this issue well. RGGI’s cap-and-invest mechanism has proven successful in the almost dozen northeast and Mid-Atlantic states where it has engendered meaningful reductions in carbon pollution from power plants, thereby cleaning our air and improving public health outcom
