Sewer rates and rate structure

The sewer authority accepts credit and debit cards for sewer payments.  The quarterly rate is $146.00 for 1 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).

In 2020, Council voted to hire Portnoff Law to collect delinquent sewer payments. Amounts totaling $450 or more are now handled by Portnoff Law.

Bills are mailed in March, June, September and December each year.  Rate payers have a 30 day grace period to pay their bill without a late charge.  Rate payers who pay for the full year in advance receive a discounted rate. A table of computations of EDUs follows:
