Council hears repeated sewer issues; solicitor urges formal connection rules
Summary
Councilmember Adam Pavusik reported multiple flometer cleanings and high-level readings in September and said the system 'will need to have sludge hauled.' Sewage solicitor Dennis Shatto told the council the borough needs rules and regulations for new sewer connections and reconnection fees.
Councilmember Adam Pavusik reported recurring maintenance work in the borough sewer system, listing flometer service on Sept. 11, Sept. 13, Sept. 16 and Sept. 17 and saying the system "will need to have sludge hauled." The minutes record elevated levels and repeated cleaning over those dates.
Sewage solicitor Dennis Shatto told the council the borough lacks formal rules and regulations governing new sewer connections and reconnection fees and advised the council to review a copy of another municipality's sewer rules as a model. The council recorded a direction to review sample regulations and to consider drafting borough-specific rules; no draft ordinance or fee schedule was presented at the meeting.
