Rate Increase for Sewer Customers
Effective November 2006
The Stewartstown Borough Authority increased sewer rates at its November 15th, 2006 public meeting. The rates increase is due to higher operating costs, as well as, the increased costs for expanding the sewer treatment plant to meet the requirements of the Chesapeake Bay program. The Chesapeake Bay program will require nutrient treatment and permit limits mandated by DEP for all sewer treatment plants.
The sewer rates were effective immediately, as of the November 2006 Authority meeting.
The new sewer rates for residential customers will be:
A minimum fixed charge of $85.00 for each EDU per quarter PLUS $2.15 per 1000 gals for all use over 3,000 gallons that quarter. For homes not connected to the public water system and with private wells, the charge will be $85.00 plus $42.60 per quarter.
