With more water problems reportedly occurring at Stackhouse Management’s Rolling Valley Estates, Connoquenessing Township officials are taking strides to bolster the township’s response.

According to a Monday, Oct. 12, social media post by township Supervisor Angela Fleeger, Rolling Valley residents experienced an unannounced water service failure from about 6 p.m. Saturday to about 1 p.m. Sunday, “on top of continuous service disruptions over the last several weeks.”

Rolling Valley Estates was a major topic at the September township supervisors meeting after residents were left for at least a week without potable water.

At that meeting, Fleeger said the township launched a formal complaint with the state Department of Environmental Protection. Township officials also contacted the state attorney general’s office, state Rep. Aaron Bernstine, R-8th, and state Sen. Scott Hutchinson, R-21st, looking for solutions.

The board of supervisors also voted unanimously at that meeting for solicitor Andrew Menchyk to draft a formal notice to Stackhouse Management for violating an ordinance pertaining to water supply in mobile home parks. Menchyk said the ordinance requires water that corresponds to the state Department of Environmental Protection’s standards for potable water.

In her social media post, Fleeger suggested residents continue reporting water service interruptions or water quality concerns to the DEP directly.

“Please know that we take these concerns seriously and we will continue to use the authority available to us, work alongside DEP and our other officials, and pursue additional avenues of assistance to advocate for our residents,” she wrote on social media. “You deserve to be heard. You deserve communication. And you deserve a resolution to these ongoing concerns.”

The township is also considering amending its mobile home ordinance to add more enforcement capabilities and to specify standards for water and other health and safety issues.

The board of supervisors voted unanimously during its Wednesday, Oct. 7 meeting for Menchyk to draft amendments based on some recommendations and examples of similar ordinance language provided by Bernstine’s office.

Menchyk also told supervisors they could consider setting up an inspection process tied to annual permitting for mobile home parks.
