How does the Township determine my water and sewer usage?
A residential water meter is read once each quarter. This reading is obtained from outside the home by one of three methods: numeric remote, touchpad or radio read unit. The touchpad and radio read devices are able to electronically transmit a meter reading outside the building identical to that of the inside water meter. The older style numeric remote is also wired to the meter but becomes defective due to age, weather conditions or insects inside the hardware causing damage to the wiring. In this type of system, there can be a difference between the “inside” meter reading and the “outside” remote. If you have this type of system, it is important to make sure your inside and outside readings agree. The inside meter registers the correct reading and you are responsible for any discrepancy. If you notice a variance, or are aware that your home still has the old style meter, please contact the Water Billing staff in the Treasurer’s Office at 394-5240 and schedule an appointment to update
