Authority approves $449,845.96 in payments, reviews March finances and equipment delivery dates
Summary
The Lower Pottsgrove Township Authority approved April payments totaling $449,845.96, reviewed March operating and sludge-disposal expenses and noted delivery schedules for UV and belt filter press equipment that affect timing for operations and the proposed plant.
Joseph Groff read the Treasurer's report at the April 14 Lower Pottsgrove Township Authority meeting showing operating-account funds of $4,254,928.29 and capital-account funds of $1,806,117.30. The Authority approved the Treasurer's report and authorized payment of bills by unanimous 4-0 votes.
The capital register included invoices of $136,505.50 (notably a $126,223.00 entry for Borough of Pottstown — UV System WWTP and Belt Filter Press) and the operating register totaled $313,340.46; together the approved registers sum to $449,845.96. Other notable operating items listed were a second-quarter Borough of Pottstown contribution of $280,612.00, DelVal interest of $7,897.13 and monthly health‑insurance and workers'‑comp trust charges.
Wagner told the Authority the audit began March 17 and that the audit results should be available within a month to confirm whether the Township owes funds or will receive a credit. He also reported sludge-disposal expenses of $12,000 for March and $35,000 year-to-date, substantially lower than the same period in 2024. Capital-equipment timing discussed earlier in the meeting noted the belt filter press was expected to arrive in May or June with a two- to three‑week installation and a goal of July 1 operation, while the UV equipment delivery is now scheduled for the first week of October.
The Authority approved payment of the bills as read; motions to approve both the Treasurer's report and the bill payments were moved by Mark Loshnowsky, seconded by Joseph Groff, and passed 4-0.
Next steps: audit results are expected in the coming month; staff will continue to monitor equipment delivery and installation schedules and report back to the Authority.
