Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • How are sewer charges calculated into my water bill?

    The Hampton Township Municipal Authority does not maintain the sewer system, but we do provide a billing and collection service for the Township of Hampton, as well as a portion of Indiana, O'Hara and McCandless Townships. This allows most residents to pay for both water and sewer services on one bi-monthly statement. Even though the Authority does sewer billing for the Townships of Hampton, O'Hara, Indiana and McCandless they do have separate sewer usage rates. The rates listed below are per a bi-montly bill:

Thereafter, the rate increases to $5.64 per 1,000 gallons. There is a $22.92 ready-to-serve charge, which is included and payable whether or not there is any usage.
