Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Quarterly for ordinary metered users consuming less than 200,000 cubic feet per quarter; high-volume users with normal or estimated use above that threshold are billed monthly. The code says customers remain responsible for payment even when a bill is not received.
- Rate structure
- Meter-size minimum allowance plus uniform volumetric charge. The current code lists a 5/8- to 3/4-inch meter minimum of $26.68 per quarter including 950 cubic feet and a water-delivery charge of $66.18 per thousand cubic feet; larger meters have larger allowances and minimums.
- Residential cost reference
- Approximately $8.89 per month for the 5/8- to 3/4-inch quarterly minimum before sewer and any usage beyond the included 950 cubic feet, using the current published $26.68 quarterly charge. A complete typical combined water/sewer 5,000-7,000-gallon estimate was not exposed.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Residential sanitary-sewer charges are determined from potable-water consumption under the Township code. The code provides a 15% discount for qualifying residential customers whose sewer user charges are based on public-water consumption; the reviewed official pages do not expose the complete current sewer rate table or a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- The utility bills metered service using water-meter readings and allows estimated use for certain high-volume accounts; the reviewed official code does not identify AMR/AMI technology or a precise residential read schedule.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The code references water-service application fees for new or changed services, including no fee for lines under two inches and a $50-per-EDU charge for lines two inches or larger; no ordinary residential account-transfer fee was exposed.
