The Fee Schedule is set annually by the Board Members and approved by the members of the corporation. The Sewage Facilities Program was created in 1966 under ACT 537. The program is mandated by the state that each municipality must address the need for on-lot sewage disposal systems and apply for reimbursement of the prior year expenses. Our fees increased in 2012, due to budget cuts to the program, by the legislators, and funding is no longer received as addressed under the law in ACT 537 and Title 25 of the Pa Code Chapter 72;
