Bensalem Township Council Meeting - August 10, 2026

The Bensalem Township Council meeting on August 10, 2026, primarily addressed several land development and infrastructure issues, including the approval of developer agreements for Chick-fil-A and resolutions related to sewage facilities plan revisions for new land developments at 2600 State Road and 1601 State Road. The council approved these agreements and resolutions, enabling the projects to proceed. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to public comments concerning ongoing stormwater drainage problems and a severe rat infestation in the Springdale neighborhood, attributed in part to recent road and sewer work. Township officials, including the engineer and health department representatives, discussed ongoing efforts to address these issues, such as increased inspections, property maintenance enforcement, coordinated pest control, and upcoming drainage improvements. The council also reported on a recent productive meeting with PennDOT to address flooding issues on Station Avenue and Huneville Road, with plans to pursue both short-term and long-term solutions, including grant applications and infrastructure improvements. While no new budget allocations or contract awards were announced, the meeting highlighted active coordination among township departments, county health officials, and state agencies to resolve infrastructure and public health concerns affecting residents.
