township history On March 14, 1681 William Penn received a charter from the King of England for a grant of land to establish a colony in the New World. This colony was named Pennsylvania, or Penn's Woods. The Township of London Britain was organized in 1725 from a tract of land belonging to the London Company of Great Britain. London Britain is bordered by Maryland on the south and Delaware on the east. The Mason Dixon Line Marks the border between the Township and Maryland. There are 40.09 miles of Township roads and 2.61 miles of State roads in the Township with approximately 3000 residents living in 1300 households. There is 1345 acres in the State owned White Clay Creek Preserve. The White Clay Creek Watershed was designated as a Federal Wild and Scenic river on October 24, 2000.

This page contains useful stormwater management information for residents, commercial businesses, and developers in London Britain Township. General information about stormwater management can be found via the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental protection website Department of Environmental Protection | Department of Environmental Protection | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . For more information about municipal obligations for stormwater management including NPDES permits and stormwater ordinance requirements please contact the Township. Stormwater Whenever precipitation falls from the sky, there are three options to what happens to that water. It either soaks up into the soil or roots of trees and vegetation, evaporates into the atmosphere, or runs off into drainage basins which flow into creeks and streams. Stormwater is any water from rainfall or snowfall that runs off into bodies of water. Most of the Township's stormwater eventually flows into the White Clay Creek or the Christina River. It is crucial that stormwater is monitored, so that pollutants are not introduced into the Watershed. Proper management of stormwater directly relates to the quality of our water. This is especially important in London Britain Township because all of the residents obtain their water from private wells. Water quality is not just important for wildlife but directly affects our own health.

Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination What is an Illicit Discharge? An illicit discharge is an unlawful act of disposing, dumping, spilling, emitting, or other discharge of any substance other than stormwater into the stormwater drainage system. The stormwater drainage system includes streets, ditches, catch basins, yard inlets, lakes, and streams. Illicit discharges cause water pollution by sending pollutants right into creeks, streams, ponds, and lakes. Be sure you know what illicit discharges are so you can help prevent water pollution and keep our streams clean! Prevent water pollution. Call the Township to report an illicit discharge or any type of water pollution in our streams or stormwater inlets. In case of emergencies, call 911.
