PTMA Water and Sewer Rules and Regulations |
ATTENTION ALL PTMA SEWER CUSTOMERS...
Penn Township Municipal Authority (PTMA) has been notified by the regional sewer treatment facility, known as the Eastern Snyder County Regional Authority (ESCRA), that the grease and organic discharges from PTMA customers have exceeded the allowable limits. According to ESCRA, most of the overload comes from food waste and large grease discharges.
An empty coffee can kept in your refrigerator will solidify the oils for easy disposal with your household trash. All other items should also be disposed of with the normal household trash,
NOT dumped into the PTMA sewer system. If the grease and organic discharge overload persists, PTMA will be charged a substantial fee from the regional authority, which ultimately will force PTMA to substantially raise your quarterly sewer rates. We ask that you make a vigilant effort to dispose of cooking greases, oils, fats and other non-flushable products in the proper manner.
