Council renews T‑Mobile amendment for water‑tower cell site; borough collects recurring tower revenue
Summary
Council approved a five-year extension (with option for another five years) to the PCS site agreement with T‑Mobile for use of the borough water tower; manager said combined tower agreements bring roughly $120,000 a year to the borough.
Millersville Borough Council approved the execution of the third amendment to the PCS site agreement with T‑Mobile, extending the cellular site agreement on the borough’s water tower for five years with an option for an additional five‑year extension.
The borough manager explained the water tower is no longer used for water storage following a prior sale of the water system and that the borough rents space to cellular providers for antenna placement. The manager said the borough receives roughly $120,000 annually from all cellular-provider agreements combined; the T‑Mobile amendment was reviewed by the borough solicitor and was presented as consistent with existing provider agreements. Council approved the amendment by voice vote.
The manager also noted the tower was reinspected last year and that the structure is in stable condition. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote; the meeting transcript did not include a roll-call tally or the specific dollar amount from T‑Mobile alone.
