YOUR SEWER BILL

With the summer months approaching , keep in mind that the amount you pay for sewer service in North Strabane Township is based on the amount of water you use in your home or business . The more water you use , the higher your sewer bill will be .
Here are a few suggestions to conserve water and save money on your water and sewer bills :
• Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth .
• Only run the washing machine and dishwasher when you have a full load .
• Use a low flow shower head and faucet aerators .

• Install a dual flush or low flow toilet or put a conversion kit on your existing toilet .

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The NSTMA field crew members and contract engineers are often out and about in the township for various sewer maintenance and survey activities . Since sewer lines run through streets and yards , you may see them in your area on occasion . Though we always try to knock on doors and inform residents why we are in the area , this might not always be possible . Our workers will have identification showing they work for NSTMA ; however , if you are unsure or have any questions , please call the Authority Manager at 724.745.7220 .
