One Slate Belt township won’t be installing its first public sewer system, at least not with its current plan.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has rejected Upper Mount Bethel Township’s proposed Act 537 Sewer Plan. The Dec. 18 denial letter lists multiple administrative and technical deficiencies with the submitted plan.
Upper Mount Bethel Township Supervisor John Bermingham said a revised plan is unlikely to be considered by the board of supervisors until the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas makes a decision regarding a legal challenge to recent text amendments to the township’s zoning ordinance.
