Sewer Bills & Administration


Sewer Administration and Billing is part of the Finance Department and is responsible for the distribution, collection and maintenance of sewer accounts. Sewer tapping fees and licenses are administered through the Building and Zoning Department.

On-Lot Sewer System Ordinance

On November 14th, 2000 York Township adopted an On-lot Sewerage System Ordinance establishing regulations for the inspection, maintenance, operation, rehabilitation, and administration of municipal management of individual and community on-lot sewage disposal systems in York Township. The On-lot Sewerage System Ordinance requires homeowners that have an on-lot sewerage system to have that system pumped and inspected at least every three years by an approved pumper / hauler. The pumper / hauler will complete their inspection forms and give two copies to the homeowner. The homeowner is required to return one copy of the inspection form to the York Township Administration Office.
