  • Borough Garbage:
    • Standard: From $37. 90 → to $37. 00
    • Backyard Service: $45. 00 (labeled as “Decrease”)
  • Borough Stormwater: Remains at $16. 00/ERU (Equivalent Residential Unit)
  • Fire Service (Jackson Township): Remains at $2. 75

Minimum Bill Summary (as of Nov/Dec 2021)

Two sample minimum bills are shown:

Borough (Boro)

  • Water: $70. 25
  • Sewer: $97. 50
  • Subtotal: $167. 75
  • Garbage: $37. 00
  • Stormwater: $16. 00
  • Total Minimum Bill: $220. 75

Township (Twp)

  • Water: $72. 65
  • Sewer: $100. 65
  • Total Minimum Bill: $173. 30

(Note: Township total does not include garbage or stormwater — likely because those services are billed separately or not applicable. )

Key Takeaways for Residents

  • Water rates are rising across all boroughs and townships, with increases ranging from ~$10 to $12 on base charges plus higher per-thousand-gallon fees.
  • Sewer rates are frozen — no change for Borough or Township customers.
  • Bulk water users see small per-unit increases, though labeled “no increase” — possibly due to rounding or policy intent.
  • Garbage and stormwater rates are unchanged since 2018; garbage saw a minor decrease in base fee.
  • Minimum monthly bills will rise significantly for Borough residents ($220) compared to Township ($173), reflecting different service structures.

Residents should review their specific service area and usage to understand how these changes affect their bills.
