Summary
Springettsbury Township supervisors voted to adopt Ordinance No. 26-01 amending Chapter 265 of the township code to update selenium and molybdenum limits for the public sewer system; the ordinance had been advertised and passed after brief discussion and a noted typographical correction.
Springettsbury Township supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 26-01, amending Chapter 265 of the township code to update limits for certain metals in the public sewer system, the board approved at its regular meeting.
Mark, township manager, told the board the ordinance had been properly advertised and was ready for adoption. "This ordinance has been properly advertised and is ready for adoption," Mark said.
The measure updates numeric limits for selenium and molybdenum in the township’s sewer code; a typographical error referencing chromium was identified and corrected during the discussion. A supervisor moved to adopt Ordinance 26-01 as presented; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: changes to sewer-system pollutant limits can affect industrial and commercial dischargers and the township’s compliance obligations. Manager Mark framed the amendment as a minor technical change to bring the code into alignment with recent regulatory or technical guidance, and he confirmed the ordinance had been advertised prior to the meeting.
What’s next: The board adopted the ordinance at the meeting; the manager did not provide a specific effective date during discussion. If needed, staff will publish the ordinance and update code materials and guidance for wastewater permit holders.
