Act 537 Plan
Act 537 is the Official Sewage Facilities Plan for Westtown Township. The purpose of any Act 537 Plan, which is a requirement of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Township by providing for the long term wastewater needs of those residents.  An Act 537 Plan should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other land use regulations of the Township and should be crafted to meet the specific wastewater needs of the municipality.  All Act 537 Plans must follow the same general format and include certain information as required by DEP. In accordance with DEP guidelines, the Westtown Township Act 537 Plan includes the following:

Specific to the needs of Westtown Township, the primary purpose of this Act 537 Plan is to evaluate the need to extend the existing centralized sewer service into areas currently served by individual on-lot systems, evaluate sewage collection and conveyance alternatives, evaluate sewage treatment and disposal alternatives and evaluate various management programs for those areas that will continue to rely on individual on-lot systems now and into the future.
