Article: Officials OK septic system request

Strasburg Township supervisors on Monday approved a resident's request to install a new septic system less than 100 feet from his well.

Richard Landis told the supervisors that John Kline of Kline Septic, township sewage enforcement officer Marvin Stoner and another SEO named Amos Miller had looked at his land.

Landis said the men agreed the only suitable site for a new septic system on his more than 40 acres was a spot 68 feet from his well.

The township requires a minimum distance of at least 100 feet from a septic system to a well. Landis said his current, failing septic system has left raw sewage on his lawn.
