Act 537
Sewage Facilities
Upper Mount Bethel Township has begun the process of updating our Sewage Ordinance.
The first step in this process is to complete a needs analysis study. We have
contracted with Castle Valley Consultants for this first phase of the project.
Residents should be aware that they may receive correspondence on this issue
and representatives from the Township and Castle Valley will be throughout
the Township conducting necessary work in the coming months
Barn Roof Grant Awarded
Upper Mount Bethel Community Park Foundation has been awarded its first grant! Representative Richard Grucela has awarded a grant in the amount of $15,000.00 to the Foundation to help pay for the cost to replace the deteriorated roof on the barn at the Potomac Street Park. Special thanks to Laraine Brands for all of her hard work and dedication in securing this grant. Look for bid specifications this spring.
