Stop the Towamencin Sewer Sale
The Home Rule Charter is in effect!
Despite the Home Rule Charter now being in effect, the Board of Supervisors has refused to abide by it and will instead move forward with the sale to PA American. Similarly, PA American has stated they intend to move forward with the contract.
Several Towamencin citizens are suing the township to have the Charter enforced.
