Sewage Enforcement Officer's Page

Every municipality in Pennsylvania with on-lot sewage disposal systems must have a sewage enforcement officer. Ours is Steve McKeon. He is a licensed PA sewage enforcement officer and Profession Engineer in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Vermont.
Steve can be reached at the township office on Tuesdays from 9:00am to 12 noon at (717) 235-3011. At other times, you can reach him at his home office at (717) 382-4915. He is available at these time to answer questions regarding on-lot septic systems including issuance of permits for system installation.

As a sewage enforcement officer, Steve performs inspections of existing septic systems for real-estate transfers, which are required by the township's ordinance. He also evaluates sites for new sewage drain fields by performing soil pit evaluation and percolation test. For new parcels of land being created in areas where no municipal sewage exists, he determines if the site is large enough and has suitable soil for an on-lot septic disposal system. Reserve or back-up areas are now required and have to remain undisturbed so that they can provide an alternate site should the primary site fail.
