Residential Rates

- Water – $55/month Residentail/ $65/month Commercial – based on 15 cubic meters per month
3-month flat rate for up to 45 cubic meters is 3 times $55 or $165.00 and $195.00 respectively. - Sewer – $25/month
3-month flat rate is 3 times $25 or $75 - The usage/consumption value is the difference between the current meter reading and the previous meter reading. Usage that is above 45 cubic meters is then charged an overage fee of $5.00 per cubic meter.
- The township is responsible for pumps, scheduled pump-outs and maintenance of the water meters. The homeowner is responsible for any additional pump-outs, pump and meter changes due to household mishaps such as toys being flushed in system and pipes freezing that in turn would damage the pumps &/or meters.
