CLEARFIELD – Clearfield Borough will begin looking at an ordinance that will require residential and commercial properties to connect to the borough’s water supplier. The ordinance will prohibit the usage of individually owned and integrated water and sewage systems.
According to Code Enforcement Officer Larry Mack there is currently no law on the books in the borough to regulate businesses or residences to not use the borough’s system.
He noted that existing uses currently being used would be grandfathered in. However, in the instance that something like an old car wash, which was attached to a well system, wanted to restart, that car wash would be required to run under the ordinance. There are no operating car washes currently in Clearfield Borough.
