Cambria County Sewage Enforcement Agency

Covers 28 of this county's 63 municipalities — the rest run their own programme

Your township or borough

35 municipalities run their own Act 537 programme here

Under Act 537 a municipality may administer on-lot permits itself, through its own certified Sewage Enforcement Officer. These do — so the application, the fee and the inspection come from your own township or borough office rather than a county department:

Ashville Borough · Brownstown Borough · Cambria Township · Carrolltown Borough · Cassandra Borough · Cresson Borough · Daisytown Borough · Dale Borough · East Conemaugh Borough · East Taylor Township · Ehrenfeld Borough · Ferndale Borough · Franklin Borough · Gallitzin Borough · Geistown Borough · Hastings Borough · Johnstown City · Lilly Borough · Lorain Borough · Loretto Borough · Lower Yoder Township · Northern Cambria Borough · Patton Borough · Portage Borough · Reade Township · Sankertown Borough · Scalp Level Borough · South Fork Borough · Southmont Borough · Stonycreek Township · Summerhill Borough · Tunnelhill Borough · Upper Yoder Township · Westmont Borough · Wilmore Borough

Permit fees, forms & process

Any new system or major repair in Cambria County needs a permit before construction starts. This county’s full guide is still in production — the authority contact shown here is the official source in the meantime.

Local rules

What’s different in Cambria County.

Four things decide what you can build and what it costs: zoning, environmental protections, power for aerobic systems, and the ground itself. We publish each one only where we have checked it — and say so plainly where the answer is “same as the rest of Pennsylvania”.

Zoning & land use

Cambria County Planning Commission states its own position: it reviews subdivision plans from municipalities that have adopted a subdivision ordinance, and it acts strictly as an advisory board when it does. What it publishes is a model ordinance for municipalities, not a county one. The county layer that does exist is on sewage — DEP's tabulation puts 28 of Cambria's 63 municipalities under the Cambria County Sewage Enforcement Agency, leaving 35 running their own.

Environmental protections

Mill Creek, Bens Creek, South Fork Little Conemaugh River are carried on DEP's Chapter 93 drainage lists as Exceptional Value, and 11 further Cambria entries are High Quality. A lot draining to one of them loses the § 71.51(b) planning exemption: the sewage module goes to the municipality and then to DEP, which is a second reviewer and a longer clock rather than a different septic system. Check your own stream on the drainage list before assuming the ordinary path.

Geology & soil

The dominant constraint here is slow-percolating subsoil below 12 inches (78.3% of rated soils), followed by a seasonal high water table (62.1%). NRCS rates 94.8% of rated ground very limited for a conventional in-ground trench, 57.8% for a sand mound and 45.6% for drip irrigation -- where conventional is out, drip is often the system that works.
