   Via our Facebook page, the following questions were asked by Kim Haymans-Geisler: Could you please post more detailed information about the RPS renovation project on West Norriton's website? For example: What items are you upgrading at the plant? What will be the maximum flow levels of the upgraded plant (including any additional capacity) as requested in the permit application most recently submitted to DEP including data incorporated from Chapter 94 reports? What is the current status of that application? Also, how do flow levels in the permit request for RPS compare to the maximum flows previously authorized by DEP for that pump station? Given prior capacity levels established for RPS, by how much do current flows in that area of the township exceed those previously authorized? Are the overflows recently experienced in the area completely attributable to I&I?

   repair the Storm Drain at Butler and S Wakefield. When the rain comes there is a small stream created which runs down both S Wakefield and S Whitehall which empty into the deteriorating storm drain at present. The storm drain is unable to handle the heavy volume of water; aside from the fact this volume of water is eroding the properties for which it runs along as there is not the barrier of curbing to protect the property of the residents.
