Upper Gwynedd Hosted the
Eastern Pennsylvania Water Pollution
Control Operators Association, Inc.
T
he Eastern Pennsylvania Water Pollution Control Operators Association
(EPWPCOA) is an organized group of wastewater treatment facility and
collection system operators, superintendents, managers, and consulting
engineers, with a membership in excess of 1,300. Average meeting attendance is
between 125 and 200 members and guests. Attendees meet to discuss common
experiences, tour new and improved facilities, and learn necessary and improved
methods of operation, including
exposure to new products
and materials.
Above, left to

Manager,
Leonard T.
Perrone with
Christopher L.
Lenton, Former
President of
EPWPCOA
On November 20, 2015,
the Township Wastewater
Treatment Plant hosted
the EPWPCOA Trade Show.
The Township’s Wastewater
Treatment Plant serves
12,000 residents, two large
industries, and has 75 miles
of sewer lines and seven
pumping stations.
The Township’s Plant
was chosen to host
the EPWPCOA annual
event because of the technological improvements that the Township has made
in recent years. These improvements include the installation of a fine bubbler air
diffuser system (Dissolved Oxygen), automated chemical feed systems, ultra violet
disinfection and most recently the state-of-the-art BioMag System (a system which is
the only one of its kind in the state of Pennsylvania).
West Point
Streetscape
Improvements
The Township recently
completed streetscape
improvements on West Point
Pike between Jones Avenue
and Park Road. The project
included the installation of
new decorative streetlights,
stamped concrete sidewalks
and crosswalks, and pedestrian
accessibility improvements at the
Garfield Avenue and Park Road
intersections. The project was
funded in part by a $300,000
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation grant.
Nor-Gwyn Adds Improved Access
to
Pool Grounds
T
he Nor-Gwyn Pool season will open with a reconfigured front booth to improve
traffic flow in and out of the facility. Those members with current registrations,
ID cards in hand and pictures on file will be able to “fast track” through the
entrance; while those needing to purchase day passes, update their registrations, etc.,
will complete their transactions at a second window. Also new this year is a 5 %
“Early-Pay” discount for those who register and pay online by April 15, 2016.
The University of Swimming will again be offering swim instruction. Toilet trained tots are
included in the beginner level of the program, which focuses on teaching techniques of
self-rescue to the very young. More advanced instruction levels teach strokes, breathing,
endurance, etc. Classes will be offered in three two-week sessions of up to 60 minutes
each beginning June 20th from 9-12am. Membership is not required to participate in the
instruction program. Registration and additional information can be found at USwim1.com.
The double flume slide and WIBIT inflatables continue to provide amusement for
users and spectators alike! The 54 foot obstacle course and two deep water attractions
return this year. Additional activities include dive lessons, competition training
with Nor-Gwyn Aquatics Club, beach volleyball, and GAGA. Our traditional July 4th
celebration is a festive day of pie-eating contests, gold fish catch, egg toss, swim relays,
WIBIT races, and more. A variety of membership levels are available. Whether you
plan on attending frequently or just evenings and weekends, we have a membership
that will suit your needs.
We would like to take a moment to offer our sincere thanks to the North Wales Lions
Club for leading our organization over the past 40 years. The Lions were instrumental
in the building of our facility in 1975 and have led the Pool Commission since its
inception. We are all very grateful for the time and talent contributed by the Lions Club
for more than 40 years for the benefit of our community.
The Pool Commission looks forward to enjoying the summer with you again this year!
Opening Day: Saturday, May 28th at noon
Programs & Offerings:
Swim and dive instruction is offered weekday mornings until 12:00pm. Go to www.norgwynpool.com for details

Smoke Alarms ARE NOT all the same
Recently, our office has fielded a few questions
on the replacement of smoke alarms. When
replacing a smoke alarm, picking up a new
one at the store seems simple, yet there are
significant differences in the types of alarms
available on the market. The two most popular
are Ionization and Photo Electric. Ionizationtype smoke alarms have a small amount of
radioactive material between two electrically
charged plates, which ionizes the air and
causes current to flow between the plates.
When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts
the flow of ions, reducing the flow of current
and activating the alarm. Photoelectric-type
alarms aim a light source into a sensing
chamber at an angle away from the sensor.
Smoke enters the chamber, reflecting light
onto the light sensor; triggering the alarm.
Why is this information important? Residential
home fires during the hours of 11 pm and 7
am account for 20% of fires. However, the
fires during this timeframe account for 50%
of all fire fatalities. Research over the past
few years has indicated that the majority
of home fires start as an item that begins
to smolder. In some instances, the fire has
smoldered for over an hour prior to becoming
what is known as a “free burning” flame.
There are physical differences in the smoke
that a smoldering fire produces versus a free
burning flame. Photo Electric smoke alarms
detect the larger particles that are put off
by a smoldering fire much quicker than an
Ionization alarm. Some studies have shown
up to a 50 minute contrast between the time a
Photo Electric alarm sounds and an Ionization
alarm sounds. The overwhelming number
of fatalities and injuries come from smoke
inhalation, and not from actual burns. With the
delay in time for notification, you can see why
the sleeping hours are the most dangerous for
all occupants in a residence. Therefore,
when replacing smoke alarms in your
residence, we recommend you choose
Photo Electric alarms. Additionally, since
Ionization alarms serve their purpose,
we recommend the installation of
this type of alarm as well. It is NOT
recommended to use combination units
that consist of both Photo Electric and
Ionization alarms due to inconsistent
third party testing results. We care about
you and your family. The small amount of
funds spent on replacement alarms may
just save your life and keep everyone safe!

Zoning
The Police Department maintains a Special
Needs Registry. If you or anyone in your
household has any special medical or other
needs such as autism, dementia, etc., you
are welcome to contact the Department
and provide that information for our
confidential Special Needs Registry. The
information provided by you is kept in
case of an emergency so that officers and
other first responders can better resolve the
situation. Also, if any special needs persons
would like a tour of the station and/or other
information from the Police Department,
please contact Officer Matt Toro for
assistance. Please keep your house and car
doors locked. Always report any suspicious
persons or activity by calling 9-1-1, even if
you do not think it is an emergency.
FEMA Adopts New Flood Insurance Rate Maps
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has announced that as of March 2, 2016,
the new floodplain maps will become official. Upper Gwynedd adopted the new maps
as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Individuals may access the new
FEMA NFIP Maps at https://msc.fema.gov/portal/. Click on “view map” to see one map
panel or click on “Interactive map” to see multiple maps including aerial photos. Make
sure that you look at the maps effective March 2, 2016. The Upper Gwynedd Township
Administration Office maintains a property map which illustrates the new floodplain lines.
It is available for review at the Administration Office and will be online around mid-March,
2016. As a reminder, only a professional surveyor or engineer can certify a flood elevation
certificate applicable to a particular property which is often required for home insurance
or mortgage purposes. If you believe your property falls within or near a flood zone,
you should contact your homeowners insurance agent for flood insurance details.

Upper Gwynedd Township officials
have engaged with the engineering
firm, T&M Associates, to conduct a needs
assessment for a potential community
center within the Township complex.
Since 1991, the Parks and Recreation
Department has expanded its facilities and
programming dramatically. The Township
now employs two full-time and 20 parttime staff members and provides services
like basketball, tennis, summer recreation
camps, trails, an amphitheater with
concerts, a pavilion for family gatherings,
an annual Fall Fest and Carnival, and a
wide array of programs. Currently, the only
indoor facility available for the Township
is a single-room community building,
constructed by the Upper Gwynedd
Lions Club and local scouts in 1980. It
is the desire of the Township to explore
the feasibility and need of developing a
new community center with the input of
Township residents.
A survey has been developed by T&M
Associates and is currently available
online at www.uppergwynedd.org. Hard
copies are available at the Township
Building. The survey should take no
longer than 5-10 minutes to complete
and all survey-takers are able to submit
their name and contact information to be
placed in a drawing for free admission
into The Franklin Institute (valid for one
day, up to two adults and four children).
The survey must be completed by
Sunday, May 1 at 11:59pm to be eligible
for the drawing and your input to be
analyzed. Questions and/or comments
can be made to the Director of Parks
and Recreation, Alex Kaker at 1 Parkside
Place, North Wales, PA 19454 or by email
at [email protected]. He can
be reached at 215.699.7777 ext. 236.
