' * * * * * * 1 » * * Jt Richmond Water, Sewer Rates May Be Increased by Kurt Begalka Richmond Village Clerk Kathleen Hellmann said the cost of repairs to Well No. 1 in the village has reached nearly $15,000 and the job isn't finished yet. The well, located behind Memorial hall, began operation in 1927. Milager Well & Pump Co. will be doing the repairs, including new parts for the pump shaft and a screen. In addition, the biodisk shaft at the sewage treatment plant unexpectedly broke and could cost upwards of $10,000. A new shaft alone costs $9,200, Ms. Hellmann said. With increasing costs, Ms. Hellmann acknowledged trustees have begun talking about raising water and sewer rates at some future date. At present, the minimun rate for water is $21 per quarter, plus $12 for every cubic foot used over 5,000 cubic feet. For volumes between 5,000 and 10,000 cubic feet, an additional $1.30 per 1,000 gallons is charged. The sewer rate is $1.80 per 1,000 gallons of water, Ms. Hellmann said. One expense the village is not prepared to accept is the cost of the Chicago and -North Western (CNW) , railroad bridges in Richmond. The railroad offered to sell the Broadway street and George street wooden bridges to the village for $1 each. Ms. Hellman said the village was not prepared to accept the legal and maintenance obligations required. f: v 1 * '* ' ip ' •'•. ' • "There are too many extenuating circumstances," Ms. Hellman saicL The Geneva Lakes Joint Area Transit Commission (GLA) threatened to file suit condemning 19 miles of track between Ringwood and Lake Geneva, Wi&., in June. "To the best of my knowledge it hasn't been filed," GLA President Brian Pitzer said. But the GLA board did vote to condemn in June--a move supported by the Richmond board. "We're going to try to do it," Pitzer said. "Maybe we can, maybe we can't. But we're going to try." CNW attorney Chris Mills said he doesn't think the GLA can legally condemn the line, since it already went through legal channels. Last fall the Interstate Commerce Commission issued an abandonment certificate clearing the way for the CNW to sell the land and dissemble the track. Richard Taylor, assistant vice president of real estate and industrial development for the CNW, said the railroad will begin tearing up track beginning Sept. 1. Taylor said he has heard nothing of a suit. "They (GLA members) have a lot of talk going. That's all they are--talk." Regardless, Mills said the CNW has no intention of backing down. It has sold many parcels of land already in Wisconsin. "If they do (file suit), they do. We'll respond appropriately," Mills said. 628 Drivers In Drug Arrests During the first six months of 1983, state troopers assigned to patrol the Illinois tollway have arrested 628» drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Most of the arrests were made in Cook and Lake counties, with Cook having 359 arrests and Lake having 150. Captain Hugh S. McGinley, com­ mander of District 15 in Oak Brook stated, "Of the 628 arrests for DUI, 75 were drivers under 21 years of age. The majority of these minors arrested occurred on the north Tri-State going to and coming from Wisconsin, where the legal drinking age is still 18 years old." "We have continued in 1963, the stepped-up enforcement against the drunk driver, that began in 1982 and it has proven whorthwhile. Serious accidents involving the intoxicated driver have been reduced. The strict enforcement and publicity about drunk driving has made people aware of the consequences in lives, injuries and dollar value," McGinley added. v In McHenry county neither of the 2 DUI arrests in this county has gone to court. THE DOLLMAKER Filmirg of a 3-hour television movie, "The Dollmaker," recently took place in and around Chicago. Produced by IPC Films for ABC Television, the film is based on a novel by Harriet te Arnow and stars J me Fonda. It is scheduled to air in December. The Illinois Film office, a division of the Department of Com­ merce and Community Affairs, convinced company producers to film in Illinois, to hire extras from the local unemployment force and to get as many of their supplies and services as possible from the areas where they filmed.
