The Paradise Township Sewer Authority voted unanimously on March 3, 2025, to raise the quarterly sewer rate to $166.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) by adopting the Seventh Amendment to the Rate Resolution.
The amendment was presented and discussed during the Board’s regular meeting at the Paradise Township Municipal Building. "It was moved by J.B.

Stoltzfus, Treasurer Brian Groff and Secretary Kaitlyn Jones; Dave Bowman was absent.
Board members framed the rate change as part of regular financial management tied to capital and operational needs, including work on the wastewater treatment plant upgrade. The resolution document was described in the meeting as the Seventh Amendment to the existing Rate Resolution; the minutes do not specify an effective date beyond adoption at the March 3 meeting.
The decision came alongside review of multiple construction and financing items on the agenda, including payments to contractors and a proposed sewer revenue bond. The minutes show the Board considered these items together as part of ongoing project funding and operational planning.
The Board’s action is final as recorded in the March 3 minutes. The Authority did not include additional public-comment detail tied specifically to the rate change in the minutes.
