TUHA outlines $4.5M waterline replacement and $1.8M sewer conveyance project; board notes funding sources
Summary
Upper Hanover supervisors heard TUHA updates on a planned $4.5 million capital water line replacement (with a $1 million grant reducing Authority share to $3.5 million) and a $1.8 million sewer conveyance project funded by $1.2 million in user fees and $600,000 in reserves; the TUHA adopted a $4.1 million 2025 operating budget.
Ben Fiorito reported on projects of the Township Utilities and Housing Authority (TUHA), saying the authority plans a capital water line replacement stretching roughly 2 miles from Route 29 near Hereford Elementary toward East Greenville. The existing line dates to 1896; the project’s gross cost is estimated at $4.5 million, and a $1 million grant was secured, leaving a $3.5 million authority share to be funded from cash reserves. Bid advertisement is hoped for in June with a projected 6–8 month construction window.
Fiorito also reported planned implementation of the Act 537 sewer conveyance improvements, with an estimated cost of $1.8 million to be paid by $1.2 million in user fees and $600,000 from cash reserves, and anticipated late‑summer construction with completion estimated in early 2026. The TUHA adopted a 2025 operating budget totaling $4.1 million.
