What is the purpose of increasing capacity to 800,000 if not to extend service to the entire community?
The agreement with the developers allows for an increase in the capacity of the WWTF and the disposal fields up to a maximum capacity of 800,000 GPD if needed. There is a major cost for this to be borne entirely by the developers to provide sewerage capacity exclusively for properties they own and develop. The disposal fields are limited to 60,000 GPD for the Township. For the Township to expand service the entire community, significant land for disposal would need to be acquired at a very high cost by the Township. Also, the cost of the WWTF upgrade would be borne by the Township. This is not a reasonable consideration.
