FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP MUNICIPAL SERVICES AUTHORITY ASK STATE EPA FOR MORE TIME

The Franklin Township Municipal Services Authority and the client communities are asking the State Department of Environmental Protection for more time to show they have made improvements to the system.  The Trib reports that they are working to eliminate excessive stormwater in the sewage system.  FTMSA and its client communities have been part of a state consent order since 2019, when they were charged with eliminating the inflow and infiltration of stormwater into local sewage systems. The overall goal is to eliminate sanitary sewage overflows that discharge into regional waterways.  The authority serves Murrysville, Export, Delmont, and portions of Salem, Penn Township, Monroeville and Plum.
