RINGTOWN - Property owners in the borough are reminded to clean their sidewalks after a snowfall.
While a recent storm left its share of snow, road crews and residents proved up to the task in removing snow - although there were a few exceptions.
"Sometimes we make comments when the snow removal is bad, but I particularly made a run through Ringtown and saw that most of the sidewalks are cleared, except for some unoccupied properties," said Ringtown Borough Council Vice President Joann Zogby, who chaired Monday's council meeting. "I think a common courtesy letter should be sent to remind them to make sure their property is shoveled."
In other business, the council will respond to a request from the Ringtown Municipal Authority about enforcement of the sewage ordinance involving Amity Acres, a horse-breeding facility.
"Back in the summer, the authority asked the solicitor (S. John Price) to look over the sewer connection ordinance," said Jacqueline Peleschak, the consulting engineer for the borough and sewer authority. "Any occupied building within 150 feet (of the sewer main) must be connected to the collection system."
Even though it is a municipal matter, the ordinance would be enforced through the borough.
"It all depends on how you want to handle it," said Price to council after being assured the proposed connection is within the 150-foot distance to the sewer main.
