Why is Pennsylvania American Water conducting the study?
The goal of the study is the elimination of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) that may occur when the sewer system reaches the maximum hydraulic capacity and to prevent untreated wastewater to be released into the environment. The study complies with a Consent Order and Agreement that Pennsylvania American Water entered into with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as a requirement of our acquisition of the system. This study will ensure that customers are receiving the highest quality wastewater service at the best possible value, while protecting their quality of life by eliminating SSOs.
