On Lot Septic Systems & Their Operation & Maintenance (pdf)
OLDS Ordinance (PDF)

In December 2001, Lower Windsor Township adopted an OLDS, (On-lot sewage disposal system), Ordinance No. 2001-02, as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protections approval of the Act 537 plan. This ordinance, establishing the OLDS program, became effective January 1, 2002. The following is a summary of each property owner’s responsibilities under the Ordinance:

1. Property owners must pump their on-lot sewage disposal system once every four years based on the following schedule:

      1. Properties located in Lower Windsor Township District #1: Calendar year 2002 District #1 shall consist of all properties east of Cool Creek and Cabin Creek Roads and north of East Prospect and Calvary Church Roads. Calendar years to have septic pumped are 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, etc.
      2. Properties located in Lower Windsor Township District #2: Calendar year 2003 District #2 shall consist of all properties south of East Prospect and Calvary Church Roads and east of Prayer Mission and Snyder Corner Roads. Calendar years to have septic pumped are 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, etc.
      3. Properties located in Lower Windsor Township District #3: Calendar year 2004 District #3 shall consist of all properties west of Prayer Mission and Snyder Corner Roads and south of East Prospect Road. Calendar years to have septic pumped are 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, etc.
      4. Properties located in Lower Windsor Township District #4: Calendar year 2005 District #4 shall consist of all properties north of East Prospect Road and west of Cabin Creek and Cool Creek Roads.  Calendar years to have septic pumped are 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021, etc.

2. After the above schedule is completed, the schedule rotation will start over again.

3. If you pumped your system within 1 year of your notification, and can submit a copy of your receipt to the Township, you will be considered to be in compliance with the ordinance. The new date that your system must be pumped will be in the next four-year cycle.

4. When you arrange to have your system pumped, contact one of the approved pumpers/haulers  licensed to operate within Lower
Windsor Township. Licensed pumpers are responsible for providing both property owners and the Township with a detailed report of each system they pump. Pumpers licensed by the Township must provide the location where they dispose of septage, and abide by all state and local regulations.

Please call the Township office at 717-244-6813 with any questions. Your cooperation with the OLDS program is greatly appreciated.
