| Pa. DEP orders
township to fix sewer system after spills Feb. 8 Pennsylvania is ordering Paint Township, Pa., to do something about its malfunctioning sewer system, which has spilled untreated sewage into a Clarion River tributary for several years. The state Department of Environmental Protection sent the township a notice of violation in December 2003 because it failed to implement an action plan to install additional sewer lines. Paint Township did not respond to the notice in a way that would address the sewer problems, which consist of malfunctioning on-lot systems, the department said. The DEP said it offered the township a settlement to help it correct the issue, but again it failed to respond in a meaningful way.
