945 Tennis Avenue - Sewer Connection

About this project

The Horsham Water & Sewer Authority proposes to connect the existing home at 945 Tennis Avenue to the public water system by running a new water service line. The line would cross a riparian corridor conservation area, which requires township conditional use approval. The county generally supports the plan but asks the township to attach conditions that protect trees and restore the disturbed ground with native vegetation.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Utility line crossing of riparian corridor should be conditioned to protect sensitive resources, Limit tree cutting and require tree replacement under township subdivision ordinance, Restore disturbed area with natural vegetation to limit invasive species, Unclear how the property currently receives water service, Any existing on-site wells to be capped per county health department guidance
