Scott Township is working to correct mistakes to some of the sewage bills sent out to residents.
Pat Martin couldn’t believe her eyes when she opened up her new quarterly sewage bill from Scott Township this month and it read $348.38. A major accounting error accidentally tied the Scott Township resident’s sewage bill into another account, making it more than five times higher than her actual usage suggested. Martin’s actual bill for three months should have been $67.84. Scott Township officials are now working to correct that mistake and other problems now that municipalities are in charge of sending out the sewage bills.

Heidelberg Park isn't a prime location for ALCOSAN's storage tank
Heidelberg Park has been removed as a possible location to install a multimillion-gallon ALCOSAN sewage storage tank, Mayor Kenneth LaSota said. The Heidelberg mayor told the borough council this week that he learned earlier this month that ALCOSAN has removed the park from consideration and may go with a different approach to the storage plan. ALCOSAN had wanted to install a 6 to 9-million gallon storage tank underneath Heidelberg Park, along with various other locations near the Chartiers Creek.
