Home buyers and sellers in Morrisville Borough should be aware of an important new requirement that could affect their real estate transactions. The Morrisville Municipal Authority recently passed Resolution #24-06, which adds mandatory inspections of both water service supply lines and sewer service collection lines at the point-of-sale.
Under the new rule, a water service line inspection is required to ensure that the property’s supply line is not made of outdated iron or galvanized steel pipes, materials no longer approved for use. Additionally, a video inspection of the property’s sewer service line is required to check for blockages, damage, or other issues before the sale can be completed.
This change is designed to protect homeowners and the community by preventing unexpected repair costs and ensuring water quality and sewer system integrity.
Why This Matters for Buyers and Sellers
If you are planning to buy or sell a home in Morrisville, this certification process could affect your timeline and budget. Sellers should consider scheduling inspections early to avoid delays at closing. Buyers may also want to review inspection results carefully to understand potential repair needs before settlement.
