Upcoming Sanitary Sewer Maintenance

Posted on: April 26, 2024 - 11:52am

Beginning in May 2024, the Township will be embarking on an Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) reduction program for sanitary sewer laterals and mains. This work is being done with the help of a grant from the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The work scheduled includes the installation of VAC-A-TEE® trenchless excavation cleanouts on lateral lines to provide access, followed by a cured in place lateral liner installed from the sewer main by remote operated equipment. Nearly one thousand feet of sanitary mains will also be lined during this project. These include some of our oldest lines, which are made from vitrified clay, and prone to root intrusion.

This project will be taking place in the following areas of the Township listed.

  • Towamencin Ave.
  • Rosemont Ave.
  • Green St.
  • Jackson St.
  • State St.
  • Beth Dr.
  • Clearbrook Rd.
  • Moyer Blvd.
  • Gosling Dr.

These repairs will cause very minimal disruption, as not every address on these streets has a defect in the Township maintained portion of the line servicing them.
