You will need approval from the Sewer Authority (MTMSA) separate from the Township. To obtain sewer construction approval, an application must be filed with MTMSA along with funding to open a Professional Services escrow account.
Please complete and submit the following:
- Sanitary Sewage Construction Application
- Professional Services Escrow Agreement
- Funding for the Professional Services escrow account (contact MTMSA for amount)
- A plan showing the sewer level of construction (electronic preferred)
- 2 Years of water usage for a similarly sized and use facility
During the process, the project will need approval from the Pa Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the owner will need to enter into a Tapping Fee and Development Agreement with the Authority.
