HARRISBURG - Passage
of legislation to exempt
farmers from immediate
payment of assessments for
construction of water and
sewer lines was termed by
the Pennsylvania State
Grange Thursday as an
important step toward
preservation of agricultural
land in Pennsylvania.
The legislation (House Bill
217) cleared the General
Assembly earlier this week
and was sent to Governor
Milton J. Shapp.
The State Grange was one
of the prime supporters of
the measure when it was
introduced m the House of
Representatives in February
1975. It was passed by the
House last July and an
amended version was
adopted by the Senate this
month. The House concurred

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 15,1976 —
Farmers exempted from
water , sewer assessment
Wednesday (May 12) with
the Senate amendments.
J. Luther Snyder, master
of the State Grange, said
“passage of this legislation
eases the threat of financial
disaster that faces farmers
when sewer or water Imes
are constructed along roads
adjacent to their properties.
“In the past we have seen
assessments for such work
that ranged upward from
$lO,OOO, with some m excess
of $20,000 for individual
farmers. In such cases,
farmers frequently were
forced to sell land to pay
these charges.
The new legislation,
Snyder pointed out, does not
exempt farmers from
liability for these
assessments, but does defer
payment as long as the land
remains in agricultural use.
17
In its final form, HB 217
provides that the exemption
applies to land that has been
certified by the State
Agriculture Secretary as
“having been used primarily
for agricultural purposes for
at least three years im
mediately preceding the
installation of water or
sewer lines in a right-of-way
fronting on or crossing such
land.”
It applies to farms of not
less than 10 acres, or with
anticipated annual gross
income of $2,000 or more.
