The sewer rates, administrative fee, and well fees have increased. Billing is calculated by using the 1st quarter readings from New Jersey American Water multiplied by four to create a yearly average usage. The usage is then multiplied by the rate and the administrative fee is added on. If you feel there is an error with your readings, please notify the Tax Office ASAP, as no adjustments will be made after the 1st quarter billing.
