Borough seeks aid from Authority for sewage costs
Arendtsville Borough Council learned Donald Ernst of the Municipal Authority favors helping cover about 3000 in major sewer expenses including a chlorinator and a skimmer. The fund may be drawn from the bond redemption improvement fund prompting talk of a possible sewer rate increase. The DER permit for Yellow Hill Springs remains, despite four years of missing usage reports. The meeting noted higher electricity bills, a needed timer switch, and the resignation of Officer Price, with the council deciding they cannot afford a new full‑time cop.
