Paradise Sewer Authority approves quarterly rate increase to $166 beginning 2025 Q2 bill
Summary
The board approved raising the quarterly sewer rate from $146 to $166 beginning with the second quarterly bill for 2025, following review of a 2019 rate study that had modeled higher rates in 2024.
The Paradise Township Sewer Authority voted Feb. 3 to increase the quarterly sewer rate to $166, effective with the second quarterly bill for 2025.
Board members reviewed a 2019 rate study that projected a quarterly rate of $167 beginning in 2024; the board noted the current quarterly rate was $146. On a motion by J.B. Stoltzfus, seconded by Dave Bowman, the Authority approved raising the rate to $166. The change will appear on bills issued in early third quarter 2025 (the second quarterly bill for 2025).
The minutes do not provide a detailed breakdown of the revenue needs or a specific adoption resolution beyond the motion recorded in the meeting minutes. The board’s action aligns billing with the 2019 study assumptions while adopting a one-dollar reduction from that study’s assumed $167 rate.
The Authority will implement the new rate on the billing schedule noted in the minutes; no additional conditions or phased implementation were recorded.
