Collingdale Borough Council is considering an ordinance that would amend local regulations governing sewer systems and property inspections, including adding sewer lateral inspections to required transfer inspections and clarifying exemptions for certain property transfers, such as new construction and transfers among family members or existing owners. The measure would update provisions within the borough code related to sewers and sewage disposal as well as rental property inspection standards. However, Suburban Realtors Alliance staff have reviewed the proposal and determined it does not comply with the PA Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act — an issue that could subject the ordinance to legal challenge — and have met with the borough solicitor to share the serious concerns. Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the ordinance on Monday, April 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the borough building, 800 MacDade Blvd.
