Sewer Rent

Every property -- residential, commercial, or exempt -- connected to the public sewer system is required to pay an annual sewer rent for that service.  Annual sewer rent is based on the water usage (9/1 thru 10/31) according to data supplied to the Township by Aqua PA.  Any questions related to water consumption shown on your bill should be directed to Aqua PA at (610) 645-1038.
 

Sewer rents are billed on the Township tax bill which is generally mailed out by February 1 of each year.  We offer a 2% discount for sewer rents paid by March 31 and a 10% penalty will apply for any payment received after May 31.  The sewer rental rate is determined by the Board of Commissioners as part of the annual budget process and is enacted via Ordinance.  For 2011, the rental rate is $4.50 per 1,000 gallons of water consumed.  If a property owner does not pay their sewer rent by December 31, the Township files a formal lien against the property and reserves the right to pursue formal judgments and Sheriff Sale. Additional interest also accrues at a rate of 10% per annum.
