Cheltenham Beware of illegal Sump pump discharge lines
March 5, 2014
Dont let your waterproofing contractor contribute to the water pollution!
Sump pumps illegally discharging into the sanitary sewer system is a major contributor to the water pollution in Cheltenham Township pa. During rainfalls, sump pump discharges can overload the sanitary sewers, causing sewage backups into homes and businesses that also infiltrate local waterways.Under the Sump Pump and Groundwater Standards Ordinance adopted, the Township will begin property inspections to identify and eliminate illegal sump pump connections. The inspections will take several years to complete. An inspector wearing proper identification will visit each property and ask to enter the premises. If no one is present, the inspector will leave information asking the resident to contact the Public Works Department to schedule an appointment at the property owner's convenience. The Township may periodically re-inspect any building or premise.See the full Sump Pump and Groundwater Standards Ordinance for more complete details.
