MS4 testing finds illegal sanitary connection; lateral reconnected, notice sent
Summary
Engineer reported an illegal sanitary connection into the storm system discovered during MS4 outfall sampling; the lateral was reconnected to the sanitary main and the property owner received a notice of violation; citation is not expected.
As part of MS4 (stormwater) monitoring, borough staff found flow in an outfall by the school and arranged video inspections with partner agencies. The inspections revealed a residence had an illegal connection to the storm sewer rather than the sanitary system. Staff reconnected the lateral to the sanitary main and issued a notice of violation to the property owner.
The engineer said he does not expect immediate citation but noted a violation notice was sent and the condition has been corrected to remove sanitary discharge from the storm system. The borough contacted DelCor and the school district to assist with inspection work and did not find records indicating when the illegal connection occurred.
Council treated the matter as resolved administratively, with the engineer and partners completing corrections and the borough following up with notices; no enforcement citation was anticipated in the transcript.
