Just after midnight on December 25, 1914, the majority of German troops engaged in World War I cease firing their guns and artillery.  At the first light of dawn, many of the German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no-man's-land, calling out "Merry Christmas" in their enemies' native tongues. At first, the Allied soldiers feared it was a trick, but seeing the Germans unarmed they climbed out of their trenches and shook hands with the enemy soldiers. The men exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum puddings and sang carols and songs.

Those interested in municipal water on a voluntary basis should contact Bayside resident Howard Feiges, who has helped champion the effort to connect those in his neighborhood, located in the southwest area of the Village.  

The project, which is entering the final engineering phases, will then be sent out to bid in February, with construction tentatively scheduled for May/June of 2013.  

As with many large projects, costs are derived by the number of participants, in order to achieve an economies of scale.  Those homes wishing to participate, and who are located in the project area, should contact Howard as soon as possible, to ensure they can be included in the process.  A recent article published in the BaysideNow outlines the effort to date.  Those who have already signed up to participate will be receiving additional information in January.
