January 10, 2024:  Water Operator Ken Fulford responded with the following information regarding reports of increased chlorine in the water.

The chlorine levels were 1.90 and 2.03 on Monday and Tuesday.  That level is slightly higher than usual but still meets the PADEP guidelines.  We usually run it at 1.2-1.5 to ensure a chlorine residual remains at the end of the distribution system.  The chlorine level will fluctuate up and down depending on the depth of the water in the well on any given day.  For comparison, the maximum concentration is 4.0 on a running annual basis.

STORMWATER

Only stormwater is allowed in the Borough storm sewer system. Anything else violates the PA Department of Environmental Protection and the US Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Residents may be the first to recognize “illicit” discharges dumping into storm sewers, coming out of storm sewers, or coming out of storm sewer outfalls.  An illicit discharge is any stormwater discharge to the MS4* not composed entirely of stormwater.  If you see an “illicit” discharge, please report it by calling the borough office at 215-536-1761 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. – noon Friday or email us at info@trumbauersvilleboro.org.

If an illicit discharge is noticed while the Borough office is closed, please call 911.
Take Photos, if possible.
