Township to advertise proposed sump pump ordinance amendments to reduce neighbor disputes
Summary
Solicitor and staff will advertise a public hearing on amendments to the township’s sump pump ordinance intended to reduce disputes over discharge and address new construction controls such as seepage pits or basins.
Solicitor Wendy McKenna told the Board that her office worked with Chief Andrew Duncan and Engineer Khal Hassan to draft amendments to the township’s sump pump ordinance. The intent of the changes is to "avoid neighbor disputes regarding discharge of water and addresses new construction regulations with seepage pits or basins," McKenna said.
The Board authorized advertisement of a public hearing on the proposed amendments (motion: Bergstresser; second: Carpenter; all Aye). The advertisement starts the public process and will give residents an opportunity to review and comment before any ordinance adoption vote.
