CLEAR SPRING — The Clear Spring Town Council Monday night approved $28,030 in maintenance procedures for the town’s water treatment plant.

Clear Spring Mayor Paul D. Hose Jr. said it is routine maintenance for the facility, including the replacement of filters and seals in the town’s 24 individual treatment units. The life expectancy of the parts being replaced is about seven to 10 years, he said.
