MAKE IT SIMPLE, BUT SIGNIFICANT.
Over the past year, the Township sta has had a goal in mind, to make it easier for residents to get information, pay bills and
be involved in the community. The sta wanted to design a new website to make navigation easier and information readily acces-
sible. A program that would allow residents to view sewer bills and account history, make payments by credit card or ACH, and to
nd a way to get information to our residents faster. While it seemed an easy feat, it took countless hours on demos, training, and
project management tasks. After almost a year since the approved upgrade, we are excited to announce the wait is over!
The Township has nally launched its new website and is thrilled to share it with our residents and community. The nal prod-
uct went live in February. Hopefully you have the opportunity to visit the new website and see all the features it has to oer: easier
navigation, search bars, project updates, citizen request portal, ADA capabilities, language translation, and more! Plus, the Parks
and Recreation Department has launched its own website too! You can now nd information on events, tness classes and other
activities going on in the Township. Please visit www.southhanover.org to check out our new websites and learn more about the
Township!
NO MORE PESKY POSTCARDS! The Township is also launching its new sewer billing and payment portal with Muni-Link at
the end of March. Residents will be able to see their sewer bills and make payments by credit card, ACH, or e-check. Muni-Link
oers the ability to sign up for e-billing by providing your email address. You will be able to see your account information and his-
tory. While this option is available to all residents, we understand that some residents may not use the internet, so bills will still
be available by postcard. We will continue to accept cash and check, but residents will now have the option to make payments by
credit card.
Note: There is a 2.75% transaction charge for all credit card payments and a $1.50 charge for e-checks. These fees are collected by a
third-party entity and not the Township.

6 SOUTH HANOVER TOWNSHIP
WEATHER AND FLOODING
Spring and Summer are a wonderful time of year. People have the opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature, parks, sport-
ing events, and other outdoor activities. Even though it’s a great time of year to emerge from the cold and dark winter, weather
can be a concern. You should always prepare by checking the weather before planning outdoor activities.
The Township is known for ooding during heavy rainfall since it boarders Swatara Creek. There are many precautions you
can take to keep you and your family safe. Stay informed, learn which roadways get ooded and nd an alternate route, create
a communication plan with your family, assemble an emergency kit, prepare for possible evacuation and be proactive.
During the summer months, temperature and humidity can make it dangerous to be outside. Make sure to stay indoors if the
heat makes it hard to breathe outdoors, stay hydrated and make sure your a/c system is in proper working condition. Do not
leave children and pets in the car unattended.
Whether it is hot or cold, snowing or raining stay informed by signing up for the Township mass notication system and always
check the website and Facebook page for the most up-to-date information on weather emergencies. Visit the Municipal Oce
to pick up an Emergency Preparedness Guide.

FIRE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
USE OF FIREWORKS IN SOUTH HANOVER TOWNSHIP
The Township has an Ordinance regulating reworks.
Although reworks may be purchased in Pennsylvania, only
consumer reworks are permitted to be used within the
boundaries of the Township. Consumer reworks are ground
type reworks such as re crackers, Roman candles, rotating
wheels, lady ngers, fountains, smoke bombs and any other
type that contains a maximum of 50 milligrams of combustible
material. Several common sense rules must be followed when
using consumer reworks:
• You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase, pos-
sess or use
consumer reworks.
•
Consumer reworks may not be used on public or
privately owned land without the written consent of the
owner.
• You may not use consumer reworks within 150 feet
of an occupied structure
• You may not use consumer reworks if under the inu-
ence of alcohol, a controlled substance or another drug.
The use of Display Fireworks
in the Township requires a permit.
Display Fireworks are to be ignited
by a pyrotechnician who is licensed
by the Attorney General of Penn-
sylvania. Display Fireworks are de-
ned as any rework that contains
more than two grains or 130 mil-
ligrams of explosive material and
aerial shells containing more than
60 grams of pyrotechnic composi-
tions. If you are found to be using
Display Fireworks without a permit
or using Consumer Fireworks on
public lands or too close to an oc-
cupied structure, you may end up
being ned up to $1000.00 and pay-
ing court and attorney costs.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH HANOVER
Do you or someone you know need assistance in the event of an emergency? The Emergency Management Coordinators
want to update the emergency list for residents who have conditions that require assistance, who have severe pesticide
allergies or is living alone. Non-English-speaking residents should also contact the EMC to have their information updated.
In the event of an emergency this will help the EMC provide assistance to those who need it. For more information or to join
the emergency list please contact ajmcculley@southhanoverre.org or [email protected].

SPRING/SUMMER 2023 9
The OLDS program is a state-mandated requirement that
requires property owners with an on-lot septic system to have it
pumped and inspected every 3 years. The Township collects the
inspection reports to send to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
annually. A $10.00 administrative fee is due at the time of
submission to the Township. Pumper-Haulers should collect the
fee at the time of service and send it to the Township with the
inspection report. As a note, Pumper-Haulers will not release the
report without payment of services.
If you have questions or concerns about the OLDS program,
please contact [email protected] or 717-566-0224 ext.
100.
The Township will no longer go by districts for pumping. Your
pumping schedule will be determined by your last pumping and
inspection and will be due every three (3) years.
SEPTIC AND SEWERS

Make power outages a thing
of the past with a home
standby generator.
The frequency in severe weather has led to an increase in power outages. More than ever,
you need to be prepared. Think about it, without power, you will have no lights, heating or
cooling, or refrigeration. You can’t even charge your cell phone. But when you have a
Generac home standby generator, you will have power when you need it the most.

MS4 – Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
What can you do to help us meet our goals:
Never pour any hazardous substance such as used oil, cleaning supplies and paint
down any part of the
storm sewer system.
Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly to prevent excess runo.
Never dump automotive uids into storm drains.
Correct motor vehicle leaks (vehicles drip uids such as oil, grease, gasoline, anti-
freeze, and brake uid).
When walking your pet, pick up the waste and dispose of it properly. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases pub-
lic health risks by allowing harmful bacteria to wash into the storm drain and eventually into local water bodies.
Sweep up litter and debris from sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots especially around storm drains to avoid having
it wash into the storm sewer system.
Outdoor car washing has the potential to result in soap, scum, and oily grit in water owing down the street and into
the storm drain. To reduce the impact, where possible, wash your car on gravel, grass, or other permeable surfaces.
