Loud noise from a neighboring property in Lower Towamensing Township continues to irk several residents who say the matter needs to be addressed.

Edward Barna, who resides on Spring House Lane, told supervisors on Tuesday there’s an individual shooting off explosives and also putting up fireworks.

“Sometimes he goes crazy with it,” Barna said. “We need to have something done.”

Wayne DeWalt echoed many of Barna’s sentiments and added the noise sounded like pipe bombs going off.

“These (fireworks) things go off any time of the day; my windows shake,” DeWalt said. “There’s no logic when and why he does it.”

Brian Keenly said this matter dates back to June 2023, and that state police have been contacted numerous times.

Keenly said the problem is that the township doesn’t enforce its ordinances.

“He’s setting off display-size fireworks,” said Keenly, who added the times fluctuate. “He’s three-quarters of a mile away from my house and it rattles.”

Keenly said it’s a nuisance that the residents shouldn’t have to deal with.

“I’d love to see the township enact a fireworks ordinance,” he said. “I’m not against fireworks, I’m not against the Fourth of July.”

Supervisor Jay Mullikin noted that the township’s planning commission is currently rewriting some of its ordinances and recently discussed fireworks.

“The trouble we have is enforcement,” Mullikin said. “We don’t have a police force; we have complaint forms.”

Mullikin then encouraged their neighbors to come out and fill out and the complaint forms.

Board chairperson Connie Brown said she, too, has called state police numerous times but nothing has been done about the situation.

Mullikin reiterated the importance of residents filling out the complaint forms.

“I encourage you to fill out the complaint forms and continue calling state police,” he said. “We will do everything we can.”

Resident Steve Meining pointed out that the names of individuals who file complaints are kept anonymous.

Meining noted that the planning commission meets next week.

“We definitely welcome input from our citizens to try and formulate these ordinances,” Meining said.
