Why is a Stormwater Utility Fee Necessary?

The Township evaluated its stormwater program needs by considering the importance of stormwater management, desired level of service, asset conditions, known issues, planned improvements, and regulatory requirements to project future costs. These costs, along with ongoing administrative and operational expenses, were allocated across the Township’s estimated impervious area to establish the Stormwater Utility Fee.

Bird of the Month

August 2026 - Purple Martin

🐦 North America’s largest swallow—and a spectacular aerial insect hunter.

🐦 They spend almost all of their day in flight, catching flying insects with amazing speed and agility.

🐦 In the eastern U.S., Purple Martins nest almost exclusively in birdhouses and martin gourds provided by people.

🐦 They migrate thousands of miles each year, traveling between North America and South America.

🐦 They are highly social, nesting in colonies and gathering in huge flocks before their fall migration.

🐦 Providing and maintaining martin houses helps support Purple Martins and encourages them to return year after year.

Have you spotted Purple Martins in Lower Makefield Township this summer?
