A seven-page ordinance that tries to walk a fine line between protecting Jackson Township residents from possible health problems and protecting the township from possible lawsuits will be presented to the public Thursday evening.

Township solicitor Robert G. Kochems recently prepared an ordinance a little over a year after complaints from residents exploded concerning the delivery of treated waste from Allegheny County Sanitary Authority onto about 900 acres in the township owned by Roy J. Neer of Slippery Rock Township.
