Millersville Borough Council on Aug. 26 authorized borough officials to execute a third amendment to the sewer‑service agreement covering the development formerly known as the Village at Funks Farm, now called Farmhouse Village. The motion permits the borough president or vice president and the borough secretary to sign the amendment in the form presented or with solicitor‑approved changes.

The amendment updates an arrangement first negotiated in 2012 under which Manor Township and the developer agreed the borough would accept the pump station and sewer flows from the development and convey them to the borough’s treatment facility. Manager Rebecca told council the development sits in Manor Township and remains outside the borough’s municipal boundaries, but the pump station and sewer connection would be owned and operated by the borough under the agreement.

Rebecca said the developer ownership of project parcels has changed: the residential portion (Lot 2) will be developed by a new developer, HHF will retain the commercial portion, and a separate lot is reserved for the pump station. Because of the ownership changes, the borough and the applicant negotiated the third amendment. Rebecca said the borough is still awaiting a few documents but that the amendment before council was ready for signature.

When asked about a construction timetable, Rebecca said the new developer believes residential construction will begin next year and that the pump station is among the first items the developer plans to build; she added that schedule is not contractually guaranteed. Council authorized the amendment by voice vote; the motion carried.

Council and staff said they will provide additional updates as more documents and timelines become available.
