PA MUNICIPAL SYSTEM• Old, complex, sometimes confusing.• Scope of functions, responsibilities and authority
is broad• 238 municipalities in SRA territory
–73 in Chester County–49 in Delaware County

PA MUNICIPAL SYSTEM• System includes Home Rule Municipalities,
Cities, Boroughs and Townships (2 classes)• Municipalities administer government, levy
taxes, borrow money, authorize expenditures, and make policy decisions.

Uniform Construction Code (UCC)
– Standard for most municipalities– Sets a base for building standards(must
meet or exceed the code)– Exceptions grandfathered – Established training requirements for
inspectors– Updated on a three year cycle
![Page 15: Sponsored By: Kathy Kosciewicz Owner, Stager A discussion will be held on: Basic info about building and property maintenance codes How they impact real](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca55503460f9496655b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: Sponsored By: Kathy Kosciewicz Owner, Stager A discussion will be held on: Basic info about building and property maintenance codes How they impact real](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca55503460f9496655b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sewer Laterals
– Inflow and infiltration costing municipalities millions
– Sewer Lateral inspections becoming a mandate from PA DEP
– Camera inspection requirement the norm– Expensive to repair– SRA opposed to inspections solely at
point-of-sale• New website to highlight our opposition
