City of Beacon’s council recently approved fourth ward councilperson Steve Gold’s request for a new proposal by the City’s engineers on installing 12-inch water lines halfway up Mountain Road. Gold requested the proposal after discovering from Chief Joseph that installing a fire hydrant connected to a 12-inch water main running halfway up the mountain would eliminate the need for mutual aid during a neighborhood house fire. If approved, the new plan could save some $500,000 on the cost of the project, while ensuring a timely response to area fires, Gold said.

Just a minor point but the fire chief is named Joseph, there was a chief Johnson but he is a retired police chief.
