SEWER SERVICES

Sewer services are provided by the Borough of Kenhorst.


The Borough issues a sewer and refuse bill for every property unit per quarter for the previous 3 months of service. The sewer portion of the bill is based upon your property's metered water usage as reported to us by the Reading Area Water Authority (RAWA). Quarterly bills are mailed directly to the property owner's address.


The Borough reminds property owners that it is their responsibility to pay their quarterly bills. The Borough is not held responsible if bills are not received. It is the Borough's policy to send one copy of the sewer bill to the owner of record. In the case of rental properties, we do not issue bills in a tenant’s name.


Property owners are responsible for keeping their sewer trap and vent clear of all vegetation and/or brush. The trap and vent should have covers in good condition. Grease should not be put down any drains.

WATER CONSERVATION TIPS


Water Conservation measures are an important first step in protecting our water supply. Such measures not only save the supply of our source water, but also can save you money by reducing your water bill. Here are a few suggestions:


Conservation measures you can use inside your home include:

  • Fix leaking faucets, pipes, toilets, etc.
  • Replace old fixtures; install water-saving devices in faucets, toilets and appliances.
  • Wash only full load of laundry.
  • Do not use the toilet for trash disposal.
  • Take shorter showers.
  • Do not let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth.
  • Soak dishes before washing.
  • Run the dishwasher only when full.


You can conserve outdoors as well:

  • Water the lawn and garden in the early morning or evening.
  • Use mulch around plant and shrubs.
  • Repair leaks in faucets and hoses.
  • Use water-saving nozzles.
  • Use water from a bucket to wash your car and save the hose for rinsing.
