Due to the pending sale of Cheltenham’s sewer system and all other factors considered it was determined that a planning study would be a necessity and would provide important and valuable information that may affect the future of the Borough.

At the request of Borough Council, the Borough Engineer, Pennoni Associates, has investigated the feasibility of diverting the Borough’s sanitary sewer flow from the Cheltenham Township Sewer System to alternate means of conveyance and treatment.

At the next Public Works meeting on Wednesday, January 9^th, 7:30 pm at Borough hall, Pennoni Associates will perform a presentation of that study, outlining the alternatives identified within the evaluation.

All interested parties are invited to attend this public presentation. Hope to see you there.
