One Million Gallons of Missing Water, Dog Park Discussed at Macungie Council

Macungie Council members discussed a full slate of topics Monday, some heavy, some light. Here are five you should know:

1. Interest in creating a dog park at the borough's Spruce Park is growing.

2. Borough officials noticed a 1 million-gallon discrepancy in water usage between January and February. The missing water was found in early March in the form of a burst water main near Tyler Pipe.

3. Council President Christopher Becker enlisted as many council members as arms he could good-naturedly "twist" to help with this year's Earth Day project on April 27. Becker would like as many residents as possible to join in the fun. Everyone who helps is invited to a hot dog lunch in Macungie Memorial Park.

4. Council discussed just how much taxes might go up if the borough borrows $85,000 to do some capital projects.

5. The next informational presentation regarding Macungie's Streetscape Plan will be held at 7 p.m. April 22 at the Macungie Institute. The public is invited to learn more about the possibilities.
