Notice is hereby given that the Board of Supervisors of Watts Township will hold a public hearing on March 6, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. at the Watts Buffalo Community Center located at 57 Blacksnake Road, Duncannon, PA.

The ordinance sets forth detailed regulations for the solar energy systems. For the principal solar energy systems, there is a decommissioning requirement.
