The Conewago Township Sewer Authority, which runs the wastewater treatment plant in Conewago Township, York County, has filed plans for an upgrade to that plant. The county record lists about 6,603 square feet of non-residential space. That is a small building or addition compared with the whole plant.
The plant already treats household and business sewage for the township. The county record doesn't say which equipment or buildings are changing. Upgrades like this usually replace or add treatment equipment, or add a building to house it. They usually don't add customers. An engineering firm, Buchart Horn, is listed on the filing.
No news coverage, meeting minutes or project page specific to this upgrade were found, so no opposition, approvals or schedule are known.
What it could mean nearby
- Construction would probably happen on the existing plant site, so traffic effects would likely be limited to occasional deliveries and workers.
- The records give no sign of new homes, jobs or changes to open space or schools.
- The upgrade is meant to keep sewer service dependable for current customers, but the records don't confirm what it will change.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated 2025-09-17, which suggests plans are under local review. No approval or construction start was found online. Next steps usually include township review of the plans, state environmental permits for changes at a sewage plant, then bidding and construction.
