Public Works flags billing discrepancy affecting 42 residents served by neighboring sewer system
Summary
Finance and public works discovered that 42 Lansdale residents tied into the Talmanson sewer system are not being billed at the correct sewer rates; finance will coordinate a resolution and notify affected homeowners.
Public Works reported that financial analysis identified 42 borough residents who receive sanitary sewer service through the Talmanson sewer system but are not being billed the correct sewer rates. The department said the Talmanson costs the borough passes through differ from the rates applied to these 42 homeowners.
Public Works said the finance department is coordinating a review to determine an acceptable resolution and that affected homeowners will be notified and included in the conversation. The issue was described as an ongoing financial-coordination matter rather than a policy decision at this stage.
Next steps: finance and public works will analyze the rate discrepancy, develop options to correct billing and notify the 42 residents directly; the council will be briefed on proposed remedies.
