IMPORTANT
MESSAGE FROM YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
On
behalf of your Board of Supervisors, I’m pleased to report that Lehman Township
has been approved for a waiver from the NPDES permitting requirements. The
waiver applies for a five year period and expires five years from March 20,
2019. At that time, we will reapply for another waiver if necessary.
Lehman
Township will now proceed with discussions with the Wyoming Valley Sanitary
Authority to terminate the agreement between the two parties. I’m hopeful that
this will be accomplished quickly to the satisfaction of both parties.
We
continue to get questions from residents asking if they should pay their bill.
My understanding is that many of our residents have not paid it. Currently the
agreement is still valid and legally anyone receiving a bill is obligated to
pay it. That’s a personal decision each resident has to make. For the record, none
of your Township Supervisors have paid theirs. We are all committed to doing
whatever it takes to resolve this problem.
We
will continue to keep everyone informed on our website (lehmanpa.com) and our Facebook
page (Lehman Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania). If anyone wants to speak
to me regarding this situation please call the office at 570-674-7788. If I am
not there when you call, please leave your name and number and I’ll return all
calls promptly.
Thank
you for your patience,
David
Sutton, Chairman
Lehman
Township Supervisors
