ly, the committee members will have their "pitch" and their input reflects valued opinion. In you are not totallyfamiliar with the proposed structure, seek out the details. Visit the mayor's office in Borough Hall and take a peek at the rendering of the facility If passed by the voters, the construction will be something that Borough residents will be proud of for many, manyyears. IN NORTH Wildwood. a collection of builders is doing everything imaginable to offset the building moratorium. While unchecked growth in the past has contributed to the pro blems this community has in treating its sewage, it is interesting to note the assistance that the developers are nowoffering. The plan is to contribute to the upgrading of the facility so that the sewage treatment plant is more capable of handling the growing amount of sewage sent to the plant. On the surface, the builder assistance makes verygood sense. Unfortunately, the DEP feels that no amount of assistance is capable of rectifying the woefully inadequate system. In addition to the builder's program, the cityis considering several other options and conducting engineering studies. There seems to be a great degree of concern surrounding the situation and the elected officials are responding with diligence as they seek answers to bridge the gap until the Ml'A regional plant is operational in 1988 Hopefully, a plausible solution will be arrived at the remedies implemented before we ease out of this year's off season and into next years vacationing season tit ITE \ BIT of the pro blem we are experiencing with the sewage treatment i

i : facility has to do with a - situation called infiltration. This is indeed a problem : and has to do with the sewage infrastructure ■ throughout our Island. Infiltration is caused when rain water or high tide water seeps into the sewage system and is pumped to the treatment facilities for processing. It is incredible the amount of water involved in this situation. Millions upon millions of gallons of water are treated annually as a direct result of the infilatration problem. In addition to the upgrading of the treatment facilities, the infiltration problem must bedealt with before the MUA begins processing. If it is not corrected or at least substantially lessened, the taxpayers will be forced to pay for the treatment of this infiltration This could amount to a considerable expense and it is good to see officials throughout our communities addressing this issue as well Senior Meet OCEAN VIEW - The Dennis Township Senior Citizens Club will meet 1 p.m. Wednesday.
