The payment, which council approved after a motion and vote, includes $300 for administrative costs and $5,000 assessed as the penalty for a severe pollution event, according to borough staff. The borough reported the incident to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Fish and Boat Commission, and DEP did not assess a penalty.

Borough staff said the incident occurred after installation work on a new SVR control panel; a panel failure prevented one valve from closing and an alarm did not trigger, allowing activated sludge to overflow into the river. \"The borough is being fined $5,300 — $300 covers administrative costs, and the $5,000 is the amount for a severe pollution event,\" said Rebecca, borough manager. She said the contractor returned within a week, corrected the problem and there have been no repeat incidents.

Council members were told the Fish and Boat Commission’s assessment is based on the borough’s own self-reporting of the estimated volume released; borough staff said the Commission did not disclose the precise calculation it used. The settlement agreement is to be executed after final review by the borough solicitor.

Council discussion emphasized that the borough had self-reported and that staff had worked with regulators. Rebecca said she accepts responsibility for the event and stressed the panel failure appears to have been a technology malfunction rather than an ongoing defect. \"I am ultimately responsible for that,\" she said.

The settlement avoids pursuit of the matter as a criminal case, staff said. Council approved a motion authorizing the manager to sign the settlement upon the solicitor’s final review. The cost will be paid from borough funds and was described as an item to factor into upcoming budget discussions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Millersville Borough Council Meeting 9/23/25","oneSentenceSummary","Millersville Borough Council on Tuesday authorized the borough manager to execute a $5,300 settlement with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to resolve a pollution notice tied to a March 15 incident at the borough wastewater treatment plant.","taxTitle","Millersville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania","taxId",71837,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975845,"Council approves flat 2026 budget for Blue Rock Regional Fire Commission; commission fundraising for new building",129,199000,328000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a&start=199&end=328","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a/thumbnail_199000.jpg","/articles/5975845/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Council-approves-flat-2026-budget-for-Blue-Rock-Regional-Fire-Commission-commission-fundraising-for-new-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975845-e35aa9e7a9fe65d4e642a0ae1aef7b84/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193721&Signature=Al4Xht5K2w1UTKPAGqfsnGtZbV89ivNnhL7vlYSzesjWRXzNewvIzodxtZyt-7StPvcUWyuNmO8qFpZgtLTbRjL62cWNWaEJSjPbNB~pDf~fPMkJtjT-qA30BJWqADfv-jOKVyfaDDZWPxqJh37lC15R9M07zvC1koQoYmtqRzhP6TzMfnIsvZwodF8ctpfcbmHM-As1uxjdCsOkRtCxr~C61JgVI7I94H52f8jbOR6ALfLRdrKkV4kGHNafkFyaV4pvk1YH-EN8QS3uPQrJ3z-U69NsKvCF6YPR05rugqtyou89slxCOOEfxVZJU~PPmGIGiPjAbTgHZKUf5ohYFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Millersville Borough Council voted to adopt the Blue Rock Regional Fire Commission’s 2026 budget as presented.

Dwayne, speaking for the commission, said the bottom line for Blue Rock’s 2026 budget is flat after reassigning line items and that the commission is beginning to raise funds for a planned new building. \"Our budget is gonna be flat this year... the big thing for us is start to really raise funds for the new building,\" he told council.

Council asked no substantive questions and approved the budget by voice vote. Commission representatives said the department had only one increase in 15 years and that rising costs are creating challenges going forward; they also said they are working with state representatives on funding plans for the building.

The approved budget will be adopted for 2026 and the commission will continue fundraising and outreach to state officials.","Council voted to adopt the Blue Rock Regional Fire Commission’s 2026 budget as presented.

Rebecca, the borough manager, told council the borough has generally been satisfied with the vendor’s responsiveness and technical support. Staff recommended upgrading from the silver plan to the gold package to include additional cybersecurity monitoring and training and to gain a larger discount on hourly labor rates.

Under the recommendation, the borough’s administrative departments — including streets and sewer — are projected to spend about $18,000 annually on IT support after the change, up from roughly $14,000 in the last 12 months; the police department’s IT spending is projected to rise to about $28,000 from about $25,000. Rebecca said those figures were included in proposed budget projections.

Council approved executing the three‑year agreement; staff said the agreement begins in October and runs through 2028 under the borough’s October‑to‑October contract cycle. Council discussed a sliding payment option offered by the vendor but did not take separate action on that option at the meeting.","Council approved a three‑year IT services master agreement renewal with City of Solutions, recommending a move from the borough’s current silver plan to a gold package that bundles cybersecurity training and monitoring, and projects roughly $3,000 annual increases for both administration and police IT budgets.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975855,"Millersville approves conditional offer to sole applicant, reopens police hiring list",202,356000,558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a&start=356&end=558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a/thumbnail_356000.jpg","/articles/5975855/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Millersville-approves-conditional-offer-to-sole-applicant-reopens-police-hiring-list","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975855-ad513d7151c928726e34ebdc9d994a70/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193721&Signature=aMJaKT4MKk4XUW4bxWhFDcckJOKa5qiLkx7Y8zSZ-tp9VrbPbX-Qr5VDC7LYpbltTgc0znnsJeB6d-Q1-j4yFpqxMzC2GY4ocLPTAoSLGKHOGDXM8XS4rcZM4C2ZtybPBJbQ28kDmrxCAfF72inj6l4StCFXq~iO4AAafEzQNCIEGBFxhK1cr5YTNj9zaYBY5u6uvcifIqLkVDM6qg-tU2cxCQ5yg6ew7UUMasiVx47WTIdBa3vi8Y9pEaDRb~2VU37KEP5ekyQCZ8x4L8TovOylSEg57wzuVPUAdVVoFFzinNBMArZtlsQ2~2qppLPXILpKKsz-DZ-F3YLw2wgi6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Millersville Borough Council approved a conditional offer of employment to the last candidate on the current civil service eligibility list and voted to reopen recruitment to fill an open vacancy in the police department.

Council voted to approve the conditional offer pending those evaluations and then approved a separate motion to reopen the hiring process and advertise for new candidates to fill the remaining vacancy. The approvals were given by voice vote.

Council members and the chief noted the approvals will allow the department to proceed with training and certification once the candidate clears the required tests.","The council approved a conditional offer of employment to the remaining candidate on the current eligibility list, Michael Ebersol, pending physical and psychological evaluations, and voted to reopen the recruitment process to fill the remaining vacancy.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975859,"Millersville Council approves 2026–2030 police union contract",318,681000,999000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a&start=681&end=999","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5834850-426b6e1f4bed2cca891f2e76edd68c6a/thumbnail_681000.jpg","/articles/5975859/Millersville/Lancaster-County/Pennsylvania/Millersville-Council-approves-20262030-police-union-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975859-66fb8cc413e0552a1351d3176a56d356/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193721&Signature=ndLplY1AleN2NIQZhMy66mJl6lITSPtUhrzD7eE3s7ScpE9hwrh7z95VOfimOp~ovMHQONZxRQFZ6VOgiSHvnPjD7jBiiB1n3vGMnCJLMR6ZvMeJtHScatQsHAi0ZxNob88P6aP7m1D7SxEMVaGN-b2wKFvgWmv825uzZ6LxgpWT5bf1F0npVjB8rRE67ERfVWbhgOu-qeE-lDu0iIzHiGwRUh~pu1D9YdhGe2T4iMjiifCSQR13YwOffLqR47K4wBeUh4iN6YyimOL4z8JEz2lhQFptTcgLSWnJNNMQ06~W2sk~sDfEX-aix1RXkL1hpF9IR-npbQrKPStO9EYqMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Millersville Borough Council voted to approve a 2026–2030 contract with the Millersville Borough Police Association for police services to the borough.
