Honey Brook Township passes ordinances regulating on-lot sewage and short-term rentals

Published Friday, July 25, 2025

Honey Brook Township supervisors passed a pair of ordinances impacting properties. The on-lot sewage management ordinance requires mandatory inspections and pump‑outs every three years. Guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Act 537 implementation requires local governments to adopt ongoing operation and maintenance programs for on‑lot septic systems as part of their Act 537 sewer facility plans. The second ordinance makes changes to the zoning chapter of the code to add definitions and regulations relating to short-term rentals.
