Eaglepointe WWTP Conversion

The recent expansion of the Route 100 Regional WWTP will allow for the extension of public sewer to serve additional businesses within the township area that currently utilize the Eaglepointe WWTP.  The existing Eaglepointe WWTP will be converted to a new pump station with force main to convey the sanitary wastewater flow to the Route 100 Regional WWTP that will provide improved treatment.

Presently, low-pressure pumping stations convey the sewage flow from most of the serviced businesses, and gravity sewer for the businesses adjacent to the supermarket.  For the most part, all sewer service lines from each building will remain the same.

The new pump station and force main is now under final design with PADEP permitting to follow.

The Township through a municipal bond will be funding the construction of the pump station and force main. The bond will be funded through the user fees charged by the Municipal Authority.

This Project will be financed in part by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (COVID-19 ARPA H2O PA).

Eaglepointe WWTP FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Route 100 Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Expansion

At the completion of the Route 100 Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Phase II expansion in 2015 the treatment capacity was increased from 300,000 to 600,000 gallons per day (gpd). The recently completed Phase III expansion of the WWTP increased the treatment capacity to 800,000 gpd. A developer paid the up-front design and permitting costs. The developer will also pay a portion of expansion's construction costs proportionate to the developer’s treatment needs with the Township paying the balance, which will provide capacity for the Township’s future sewage treatment requirements.

Route 100 Regional WWTP Service Area

The WWTP’s expansion to 800,000 gpd serves the developer’s new residential subdivisions within the Route 100 corridor and provides additional sewer capacity to service some of the existing residences and businesses in the villages of Eagle and Byers.
