To clarify: The Sewer bill was sent out tri-annually in the past, where you would receive a billed amount of $140 every 4 months ($140×3=$420/yr). The Sewer Board and Township Board had communicated months ago that it was moving to a Bi-annual billing. It has been in the paper, the minutes, and on the August bill, but some are concerned that the rates were increased. The reason for this change is to reduce mailing costs rather than increase usage rates. No rates were raised- it is still a flat $35 per month. It still comes to $420/year. So the bill you received is $70 more because it covers 2 more months. Again- the Sewer Rate DID NOT increase, it’s just billed differently.
