Authority seeks Sinking Spring release so C&B Warehouse can connect to local sewer; engineer flags required flow‑meter easements
Summary
The Municipal Authority unanimously approved sending a letter to Sinking Spring Borough requesting release of the C&B Warehouse parcel so it can connect to an alternate sewer system, after the authority’s engineer said Sinking Spring requires a flow meter near the Charlotte Shops/Crave Café and that additional easements and approvals are required.
The Municipal Authority of the Township of South Heidelberg voted Feb. 6 to ask Sinking Spring Borough to release the C&B Warehouse parcel from a requirement to tie into Sinking Spring’s sewer system, clearing the way for the warehouse to pursue a connection through another authority or municipality.
Authority Engineer Kevin M. Conrad, P.E., told the board that Sinking Spring is requiring a flow meter near the Charlotte Shops/Crave Café. "An additional easement is needed, and an electrical easement is needed," Conrad said, and those easements must be secured before the meter can be installed.
Conrad also reported that a developer proposing five lots at the corner of Krick Lane and Lincoln Drive submitted a Planning Module that indicates a connection to WMA’s Greystone line. He said the parcel is actually inside Spring Township’s sewer district and that the developer will need Spring Township’s approval to connect to WMA’s sewer line.
Following that clarification, the board unanimously approved a motion by Chairman Jon H. Gerhart, seconded by Ryan Beissel, to send a letter to Sinking Spring Borough requesting it release the C&B Warehouse from installing sewer to the borough system. The approval was unanimous.
Township Manager Sean McKee told the board the C&B Warehouse project hopes to begin construction in 2025, but McKee did not give a firm start date. The letter to Sinking Spring is the next procedural step the board authorized.
No formal timetable for the easement acquisitions or Sinking Spring’s response was provided at the meeting. The matter remains contingent on intermunicipal approvals and the securing of the required easements.
