Lower Macungie updates sewer regulations, creates new sewer district near Quarry Lane
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance 2025-06 to amend Chapter 18 on sewers, adding extra-strength charges, inspection/enforcement for lateral connections and establishing a new sewer district near Quarry Lane (off Route 100). The measure passed by unanimous vote.
Lower Macungie Township’s Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-06, updating the township’s sewer code to address extra-strength sewer charges, lateral inspection and enforcement, and to establish a new sewer district near the old Quarry Lane area off Route 100.
Staff (identified in the record as Mr. Bital) said the ordinance reflects updates discussed at the prior workshop and sets rates the authority charges for extra-strength discharges. The ordinance also adds language governing common-interest sewer lateral inspections and formalizes the addition of a sewer district serving development near Quarry Lane.
After a motion and second and no public comment, the board voted by roll call to adopt the ordinance.
What happens next: Township and sewer authority staff will implement the updated inspection and charging processes and map the new sewer district; rates and enforcement will be applied consistent with the adopted ordinance.
