At the March 10 meeting the Sewage/Sewage Authority reported a generally good operational month. Council recorded that the authority needs to order pH buffers and alkalinity strips to support plant testing and maintenance.

The minutes state that "there was a piece of broken pipe and gravel debris found at the sewer plant, could be from a house that previously had sewer issues." The record does not identify the source or assign a remediation contractor; the council also noted that the borough solicitor (Dennis Shatto) indicated a need to review or draft rules and regulations for new sewer connections and reconnection fees and the council will review a copy of another municipality's sewer rules as a reference.
