Central Carbon Municipal Authority (CCMA)

The PA Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) mandated the Lehighton Borough, along with Mahoning and Franklin Townships, and the Borough of Weissport to submit a joint official plan for a regional sewage facility plant. The Central Carbon Municipal Authority (CCMA) was formed by the four municipalities to construct and manage the regional sewer plant. Boards from each municipality appoint community members to serve on the CCMA Board.
