Council approves 12-month operational evaluation after fecal coliform exceedances; town hall set on sewage plant sale
Summary
After repeated fecal coliform exceedances, council approved a 12-month Operational Evaluation Study (approx. $10,000) recommended by KLH; council scheduled a March 17 town hall to discuss a possible sale of the sewage plant.
The borough manager told council that repeated fecal coliform exceedances under the borough’s NPDES permit prompted KLH to request an extension from ACHD and to propose a 12-month Operational Evaluation Study to determine whether incomplete nitrification is causing chloramine formation and increased chlorine demand. The DEP approved the study and council approved the proposal at an approximate cost of $10,000 (motion by Mark Stecak, second by Meghan DeVerse).
Council also announced a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, March 17, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers to discuss the possible sale of the sewage plant. During public comment, resident Toni Cregan suggested the borough consider forming a Municipal Authority for the sewage plant, arguing an authority could expand funding opportunities compared with other disposal options.
