Townships, fearing rate hikes, consider options to York City wastewater system
York Dispatch
At least two municipalities that utilize York City s wastewater treatment system are considering cutting off their ties to the system entirely in fear that its potential new owner would hike their sewer rates.
Manchester and West Manchester townships, two of six other municipalities that use the city s system, recently began exploring options as Pennsylvania American Water Co. prepares to start negotiating rates that would take effect if the Public Utility Commission approves the $235 million sale.
Manchester Township s board of supervisors last week passed a resolution authorizing officials to investigate possible alternatives, while West Manchester Township is doing so without an official vote.
Several fire departments from Washington and Greene counties responded to a fire Sunday night at Sunset Marina, Clarksville, Greene County.
According to Greene County Emergency Management Director Donald Mason, the fire was called in about 8 p.m. A building on the property was destroyed and some material leaked into Ten Mile Creek, he said.
âNo other boats or anything caught fire, as far as Iâm aware,â Mason said. âThere was some leakage of oil or gasoline or some similar material that got into Ten Mile Creek.â
Fayette County and Washington County hazardous material teams responded to the call, as did a state Department of Environment Protection representative, according to Richard Policz, operations and training officer for Greene County Emergency Management.
