Salisbury Township's municipal government received a positive audit for 2013.

Todd J. Bushta, CPA, of the firm, Bushta & Company, LLC, Bethlehem, reviewed his 2013 financial audit, saying he found "no problems." Bushta presented his report at the May 22 township commissioners' meeting.

Commissioners praised the condensed 16-page version of the 70-page report.

"This is much easier for us to relate to," township Commissioner President James A. Brown said.

"User fees are all satisfying expenses," Bushta said concerning the Water and Sewer Fund.

Overall, in expenditures, Township Manager Randy Soriano said, "We went over $11,000 on a $6-million budget."

In other business at the May 22 meeting, commissioners voted 4-0 with one commissioner absent to approve Payment No. 5, which is $4,598.56, the final payment, to Sewer Specialty Services Company, Inc., Leicester, N.Y., for the township Sanitary Sewer Rehab Project.

Commissioner Joanne Ackerman, made the motion to approve the payment. Commissioner Vice President Debra Brinton seconded it.

The work included CCTV, pressure test and grouting. The township rehab project is to detect and correct stormwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer system.The work is to comply with an EPA order.

In addition to Salisbury, the EPA order covers the Lehigh County Authority, Allentown, Coplay-Whitehall Sewer Authority, Alburtis, Emmaus and Macungie boroughs and Hanover, Lower Macungie, Lowhill, South Whitehall, Upper Macungie, Upper Milford and Weisenberg townships.

Discharges of raw sewage into the Lehigh River, Little Lehigh Creek, Cedar Creek and Jordan Creek, which have happened since 2003, violate the federal Clean Water Act.

Those named in the EPA order use Allentown's Kline's Island Sewage Treatment Plant.

LCA took over the Allentown sewer system in August 2013.

The township board of commissioners next meets 7 p.m. June 12 in the township municipal building meeting room.
