Stormwater and Wastewater Management
Stormwater and other wastewater can have harmful impacts to the environment if not managed correctly. That’s why we want to keep residents informed about the things you should be aware of and what you can do to keep the impact of storm and wastewater to a minimum in the borough. Thank you for helping keep the Borough and the environment cleaner and safer for everyone.
Illicit Discharge:
As part of the NPDES MS4 permit with PADEP, Ivyland Borough is required to enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the storm sewer system and streams. An illicit discharge is defined as “any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not composed entirely of stormwater, except for authorized non-stormwater discharges.”
For any questions or concerns regarding stormwater or to report a suspected illicit discharge to the storm sewer system please call the Borough at (215) 675-0110.

This easy-to-read illustrated document explains the basics of what stormwater is and what homeowners should do to reduce any unnecessary impact on the environment. We thank the Borough’s engineering firm Carroll Engineering for providing this information.
