To help supplement the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program, many Townships have already implemented a “Stormwater Fee” for all residents, businesses, churches, social clubs, etc. in their municipality. New Sewickley is currently studying and considering implementing such a fee to help fund the expenses that will be incurred by MS4. The Board of Supervisors will hold a Public Meeting held at the Big Knob Grange on Monday March 23rd at 6:30 p.m. to further explain and discuss the process.
