* Granted permission for Wildwood Water Utility to install observation wells for salt water intrusion on county land and county road right-of-way for monitoring wells in Lower and Middle township. One well is proposed at County Park South in Del Haven, and Fishing Creek Pump Station at the end of Norbury Landing Road. They have some wells, but DEP wants different wells and elevations. This gives permission to put in the wells and take samples,” said County Engineer Dale Foster.
* Prepared to advertise for bids on the County Library’s main branch, Mechanic Street, Court House for additions and alterations. Bids will be accepted at 2 p.m. Aug. 19. Among items to be repaired, the roof, front steps, and columns.
