East Rockhill supervisors weigh $10 monthly sewer fee increase for 2025–26
Summary
At an Oct. 22 budget work session, Township Manager Marianne Hart Morano told the East Rockhill Township Board that sewer infrastructure needs exceed $1.5 million and that a recently replaced pumping station cost more than $1 million; the board reached consensus to consider a $10 monthly rate increase for 2025 and 2026 and to adopt a resolution to formalize the change.
Township Manager Marianne Hart Morano presented the East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors with a sewer fund budget on Oct. 22, saying infrastructure needs identified in a recent five-year capital plan are anticipated to exceed $1,500,000 and that a recently replaced pumping station exceeded $1,000,000 in cost.
The board — chaired by David Nyman — discussed funding options for the sewer system. The supervisors reached consensus to consider a $10.00 monthly increase in sewer usage fees for calendar years 2025 and 2026 and to adopt a resolution to formalize that direction. No formal vote on the fee increase was taken during the work session.
Manager Morano framed the discussion around long-term infrastructure costs and recent capital expenditures, and board members directed staff to prepare the resolution and related budget language for future consideration. Public comment during the session was none.
Next steps: staff will prepare a draft resolution and updated budget documents for the board to consider at a future meeting; the work session did not produce a final, binding increase.
