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
July 2026 - The House Sparrow
Love them or overlook them, House Sparrows are everywhere in Lower Makefield Township—and they have one of the most remarkable stories of any bird you’ll see here.
- Though native to Europe, the House Sparrow was introduced to North America in the 1850s and quickly adapted to life alongside people.
- Today, it’s one of the most widespread birds in the world, thriving in towns, cities, farms, and neighborhoods.
- House Sparrows are true community birds. They rarely venture far from people and often nest in building crevices, porch roofs, streetlights, and even traffic signals. Unlike many birds that migrate, House Sparrows stay with us all year long, facing Pennsylvania’s cold winters right alongside us.
