Public Meeting To Be Held For Sewer Tank Proposal

The Radnor Haverford Marple (RHM) Sewer Authority and the Haverford Township Board of Commissioners will be having a public meeting on Monday, Dec. 5, to discuss the proposed 1.5-million gallon sanitary sewer storage tank.

During the Haverford Township Board of Commissioners meeting on , RHM Sewer Authority solicitor Bill Toal suggested to the board that the proposed underground sewer storage tank could either be moved to where the volleyball courts are located at and then move the courts to the right of the entrance gate of the park.

Or move the volleyball courts to where the RHM building is located within the park, at 600 Glendale Rd., Havertown.

At one point, in a , it was suggested to place the tank, which may have the pricetag of $2 million, further away from the tennis courts, in a wooded area. But after a survey of the area was taken, it was discovered that the area is wetlands and that there were concerns of flooding issues. 

The 1.5-million gallon sanitary sewer storage tank could be placed where the volleyball courts are located now and would be flush to the ground, Toal proposed.

First Ward Commissioner and Board Vice President Steve D'Emilio requested that Toal and RHM’s engineering consultant Fred Williams appear in a more-detailed special public meeting so residents could hear about the new proposal and ask questions, which Toal and Williams agreed to.

The proposal can be found as a PDF document accompanying this article.
