Woolwich Township provides water and sewer services to residential
and business owners and tenants. That service has a cost, and to
keep costs to a minimum the Township adopted a new policy
concerning unpaid water and sewer accounts.
Basically, the policy provides for the termination (shutting off)
of water and sewer services if accounts are not paid after 90
days.
You should already have received your water and sewer bill with
an insert describing the 4-stage process we will follow to help users
limit interest charges and service interruption action on unpaid
accounts.
