The NBCJMA has endeavored to operate efficiently and in the best interest of our customers to keep sewer rates as low as possible. However, our sewage is conveyed by the Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority to the city of Philadelphia for treatment. Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority has informed this Authority that their charges will increase effective January 1, 2011.

We therefore, are reluctantly forced to adjust our rates to compensate for the increased cost. This will reflect the fourth increase since the inception of the NBCJMA in 1964; the NBCJMA's rates are the lowest in the area.

Effective January, 2011, the sewer rate structure has been revised as follows:

$7.00 per 1,000 gallons per quarter per unit - not less than $47.00 per quarter per unit.

A 5% penalty will be added to all bills that are not paid within 30 days. There is a charge of $15.00 per reading for extra meters.
