Forks Township approves $10 annual increase to utility billing to cover higher trash and recycling costs
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2026‑06‑18‑02 to increase utility billing by $10 annually (raising the charge to $90 per quarter and $360 per year), effective October 2026, citing increased trash and recycling contract costs.
The Forks Township Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026‑06‑18‑02 on June 18, 2026, authorizing an increase in the township’s utility billing to account for higher trash and recycling contract costs. The $10 annual increase raises the quarterly charge to $90 and the annual billing to $360; the change takes effect with October 2026 billing.
Secretary/Treasurer John O’Neil moved to adopt the resolution and Supervisor Derek Hughes seconded. Under discussion, Hughes asked when the current contract expires; Township Manager Donna M. Asure said the contract must be agreed upon by January 2027 or the township will go out to bid for a new contract that would begin in September 2027. The motion carried on a recorded vote with all supervisors voting in favor.
Board documents show the measure is intended to cover increased service contract costs and will appear on the October billing cycle.
