Chartiers Township has retained the services of a company to clean and camera the sewage system in the Allison Plan section of the Township. During this process residential sewage lateral traps may be drained of water and sewer smells may be present in the home. Flushing a toilet or running a faucet to replace the water in the trap can easily remedy this situation. Any concerns can be directed to the Township Manager at 724-745-3415
