Giant Pump Proposal Still Pending
The township’s
zoning hearing board will meet at the municipal building at 7pm on Jan. 27 to discuss a possible zoning change to allow eight
gas pumps in the parking lot of the Village Green Shopping Center.
The hearing was originally scheduled for April, but has been
postponed five times.
Giant filed the
application, but the proposed pumps would be located on the far
side of their main Concord Rd. access drive.
West Nile Precautions
Still Necessary
Despite the onset
of cooler weather, health officials are reminding residents to
still be mindful of stagnant water on their property. Eliminating
standing water helps reduce mosquito breeding grounds, and
subsequently fights the spread of West Nile Virus.
Aston Township has
not had any positive samples of West Nile-carrying mosquitoes, but
the DEP has reported positive test results for West Nile carriers
in nearby Concord Township and Aldan Borough. To prevent the
spread of positive samples, Concord and Aldan are being sprayed.
Save Water, Save Money
Clean, fresh water
is a valuable commodity. The average household using 280 gallons
every day. Water conservation protects resources and helps to
reduce homeowners’ water and septic disposal bills.
The following are
ways to save water:
-Repair leaking
faucets and toilets.
-Install low-flow
toilets or place a brick in the fill-tank.
-Use garbage
disposals sparingly.
-Turn off faucet
when brushing teeth.
-Insulate hot
water pipes.
-Only run full
loads in the washing machine and dishwasher.
