Zionsville officials are considering the sale of the town's water utility to the Indianapolis Water Co. in order to avert major water and sewer rate hikes to finance utility expansion and improvements. The possible sale, for an estimated $1.25 million, was disclosed Tuesday in a statement released by the Zionsville Utility Advisory Board, which has been studying the com munity's water and sewer problems for about a year.

A spokesman for Indianapolis Water Co. said Tuesday that the Zionsville water utility would be an attractive acquisition. "We're always interested in growth," said Joseph R. Broyles, senior vice president of plant opera tions for the utility. He said Indianapolis Water Co.

has been reviewing the feasibility of such an acquisition for about a So far, he said, the proposition poses few disadvantages, nothing that would keep us from going ahead (with the purchase) at this point." Zionsville's main water problems are "quantity and quality. We'd be able to get around them simply by hooking (Zionsville) onto our mains," Broyles said. Indianapolis customers wouldn't notice the difference if the sale were completed, he said. The 1,500 Zionsville customers use a half million gallons of water a day. The city of Indianapolis, on Monday alone, pumped 113 million gallons, he noted.

Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger ordered a 10 percent reduction in the number of security clearances for military personnel and civilians working for defense contractors. That number is estimated to be 4.3 million people. The 10 percent reduction will apply to the 900,000 Navy personnel with clearances, and Lehman said he had set a goal of a 50 percent reduction "as soon as feasible."

Twenty-three of the 25 chose freedom in the West while two remained behind "out of concern for personal business and the welfare of family members," according to U.S.

officials in Berlin. However, the East German government agreed that those two would not be subject to further imprisonment and could leave for the West within two weeks if they wish, the officials said. In addition, family members would be allowed to join the 25 released prisoners in the West. A U.S. official in West Berlin said he expected 15 to 20 family members to depart soon.

Rev. Oldenburg is moderator of the Committee on Justice and the Rights of Persons, which for the past year has been studying the church's abortion policy. "I think it is important to realize that the Presbyterian church is neither pro-choice nor pro-life," he said, adding that he considered those phrases misleading and too narrow.

The official said more money may be asked for Mr. Reagan's "Star Wars" anti missile defense system, for the MX missile and for a new program to convert dismantled Poseidon submarines into sea-prowling attack submarines or into cruise missile carriers.
