To explain how the program will work and the basis for calculating the proposed fee, residents are invited to stop by the Open House between 4:00-7:00 PM on Wednesday, October 9 in Council Chambers.
Township officials will be on-hand at various information stations to answer questions about the billing, proposed stormwater fee process, and general information including the statewide Municipal Separate Sewer System program, or MS4, which is the driver of the new regulations. Township water customers will also be able to learn about the new Customer Portal website that helps them track their fresh water consumption and allows them to set alerts based on various use conditions.
The proposed stormwater fee program follows the Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection’s approval of a mandatory plan prepared by the Township to improve flood control and decrease stormwater runoff pollution both in and downstream of the Township.
