WINONA LAKE – Winona Lake Town Council swore in reserve officer Zackery Smith during its meeting Tuesday night. Town Attorney Jim Walmer read the oath of office for Smith, who replaces Danielle Adams, who resigned. Town Marshal Paul Schmitt said Smith will be an asset to the department. Smith just finished his sophomore year at Grace College. In other business, the council approved a contract with Advanced Disposal to provide trash and recycling services for the town. The council approved a $17,966 payment to Construction Services of Indiana for work completed to install a wastewater line at the Wooster Road pump station. A $115,200 contract was approved for Jones Petrie Rafinski to complete engineering work at the street department’s lift station. The council also approved a water service termination agreement between Indiana American Water and Winona Lake. The agreement states Indiana American Water is willing to discontinue water service at the request of the town to sewer users who are delinquent in the payment of their user fees. There will be a $65 disconnection fee to the town. The service will not be restored until the sewer fee delinquency has been resolved. The council approved waiving a $183.48 wastewater utility bill for a customer for which the town did not give due notice. Also during the meeting, John Elliott, Winona Lake resident, encouraged the town to keep its town website at winonalake.net updated. The council approved a $1,500 payment to Warsaw Community Development Corp. for the Warsaw-Winona Lake fireworks, which are July 5 over Winona Lake at 10 p.m.
