Church Protest Over Sewer Rental Exemption Demanded
Rev. Thomas McGuire of St Joseph’s Church asks the Southwest Delaware County Sewer Authority to exempt St Joseph’s School Sun Valley High and Green Ridge Elementary from a $3.25 per pupil per year sewer rental or set a fairer rate. He argues industrial and school rates differ while processing costs are similar. Estimates show potential savings if schools paid the industrial rate, with the clergy proposing funding the loss by adding homes to the house rental base.
