The Lititz Borough Council meeting held on September 30, 2025, focused on several key infrastructure issues, including the approval of a stormwater management plan for the Moravian Manor Recreation Area and discussions surrounding sewer laterals and water service lines.

The council unanimously approved the stormwater management plan, which includes the installation of pickleball courts, marking a new recreational addition to the area. The plan also features a privacy fence along the alley side of the courts to enhance community privacy.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing the borough's water and sewer infrastructure. Bob, a member of the Water and Sewer Committee, provided an overview of the responsibilities regarding sewer laterals. He explained that homeowners are responsible for the sewer line from their house to the curb, while the borough takes responsibility from the curb to the main sewer line in the street. This division of responsibility is crucial for understanding maintenance and repair obligations.

The discussion highlighted the issue of missing sewer cleanout caps, which can lead to excess water entering the sewer system during rain, increasing operational costs. The committee is working on an inventory of properties with missing caps to address this problem effectively.

Additionally, the council discussed the ongoing efforts to replace lead service lines in compliance with federal regulations. The borough has a history of replacing these lines, with plans to continue addressing galvanized lines as well. However, securing funding for these replacements remains challenging, as available grants often come with stringent conditions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the borough's commitment to improving its infrastructure while addressing community needs and regulatory requirements. The council plans to continue monitoring these issues and will keep the public informed on progress and developments.
