Rural Agriculture District
The Rural Agricultural District provides a rural low-density living environment. The area is extensive and without development-related public facilities, such as water and sewer. The district is established to encourage agricultural and related activities, as well as to conserve unique natural features, such as flood prone and sloping areas, forests, and wildlife habitats and to help protect the watershed areas for the Springtown Water System and the Hellertown Water System water supplies. This district is established also to allow development while encouraging protection of valuable natural resources.
