8/12/13 - Changes to Brighton Townshipâs sewer ordinance were discussed recently by board members. The current sewer ordinance dates back to the early 2000âs and officials say it needs to be updated for the current times and structures that are in place, particularly some along Old US-23. Board members noted that any ordinance updates must help ensure a financially sound system but also be enforceable. More users on the system also benefit the environment reducing maintenance. Some of the discussion focused on how connections to the system are handled, and not creating hardships but requiring users or potential users within 200 feet to hook in once their septic system fails. System management and how to address contiguous properties with easements that are within 200 feet of the system. All of the board input will be brought back to the townshipâs utilities committee for further discussion. (JM)
