Tredyffrin Township supervisors have tabled a plan to implement a stormwater fee to help with ongoing flooding issues throughout the township. Instead, the supervisors decided to implement a separate fund for stormwater management in the annual budget. Joseph F. DiRocco, finance director, said the township is adding tax increases for the stormwater fund. DiRocco said the funds for stormwater will be locked up and cannot be used for other items. The proposed stormwater management fund is $2.56 million, an increase of $1.37 million over last year's spending plan. The budget includes debt service for seven ongoing capital projects for flood reduction. Read more about the budget proposal — including a lawsuit before the state Supreme Court to determine if a separate fee based on impervious land is allowed by law — on the township website.
