Tamaqua Passes Anti-Sludge Ordinance

Tamaqua last night became the first borough in Schuylkill County to approve an ordinance restricting land application of sewage sludge, the Pottsville Republican reports. Borough council members passed the ordinance unanimously after it was modified to address some members' concerns. Rush Township, where Hometown is located, will soon advertise its own version of the ordinance, the paper reports.
