Why do all existing residents have to pay a “tapping” fee to developers of new homes?
Only those connecting to the Fellowship Road WWTF will pay a tapping fee. The tapping fee was part of the agreement between the Township and the developers. In this manner, a small part of the developer’s investment in public sewer is offset by a reimbursement. The Township will acquire 20% of the capacity in Phase I of the facilities and the total tapping fee payment will be approximately 6.6% of the cost to provide Phase i.
