The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Act 537 requires all water and sewer authorities, including the Hulmeville Municipal Authority, to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive sewage management plan. In order to meet the requirements specified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) , a series of meetings were held by the Hulmeville Borough Council and the Hulmeville Municipal Authority to prepare and adopt a revised Act 537 Plan.
One of the key provisions which may affect residents is a requirement to reduce the inflow and infiltration (I&I) of ground water into the sewer system. Failure to do so may result in financial penalties and/or system restrictions within the borough.
In order to meet the requirements of the regulation, the Authority has revised the Act 537 Plan to reduce the I&I flowing into the sewer system.
Portions of the Plan are available for review
