Robert Ludgate, Jr., the Alsace Township engineer in Temple, Pensnsylvania says he has agreed to table a township requirement for manufactured homes at the Urban Acres Mobile Home Park to have exterior cast-iron sewer traps. MHC owners Erica and Kevin Ernst told the township supervisors of the 75 homes in the community, 36 homes are newer and meet current construction codes. Kevin Ernst says digging up old sewers was disturbing utility lines and destroying sidewalks and curbs. According to what the ReadingEagle tells MHProNews.com, Ludgate agreed newer manufactured homes are better built and would have adequate traps. The supervisors agreed to meet with plumbing inspector Brian Sands to determine if replacing all 75 is necessary.
