Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update – Neshaminy Interceptor
The proposed Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update is available for inspection by the public for 30 days beginning Wednesday, May 6, 2020 through Thursday, June 4, 2020. This Plan Update provides the planning necessary for new sewage facilities to serve the portion of Lower Southampton Township in the Neshaminy Interceptor Service Area. The alternative selected by the Plan Update is to continue with existing public sanitary system collection, conveyance and treatment for the areas requiring public sewers and to continue to implement the Township’s Infiltration and Inflow Abatement Program in the service area. In addition, the Neshaminy Interceptor is to be upgraded to adequately address the future needs of Lower Southampton Township for a period of ten years.
