At their meeting on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance #469 levying a stormwater utility fee effective January 1, 2026. This fee is authorized by the Second-Class Township Code and designed to support ongoing investment in the Township's stormwater management system/program. Revenue collected through this fee will only be used for projects and initiatives specifically relating to stormwater management.
Why Is This Fee Important and/or Needed?
Stormwater management is essential for reducing flooding, protecting water quality, and maintaining local infrastructure. The need for this dedicated fee relates to regulatory requirements imposed by federal and state law including the need to implement physical construction projects to reduce sediment pollution into our waterways. Additionally, the fee will provide for a dedicated revenue source to make needed and ongoing investments in the Township’s stormwater management system, which consists of surface structures and facilities and hundreds of miles of subsurface piping.
To read more about the Stormwater Utility Fee, including how the fee is assessed and calculated, and potential credit options, please visit the Township Engagement Page here.
