Wastewater collection and treatment rates were
increased by 13.2% in 2006. The increase was due to the
following three factors:
Operation and maintenance costs increased by 4.1%,
and comprise 4.7% of the 13.2% increase
New debt service costs for collection system
improvements make up 4.9% of the increase
A billing shortfall resulted from water conservation
following implementation of the consumption based
billing, and restoration of that lost revenue makes up
the remaining 2.6% increase.
The chart below shows how Abington sewer rates
compare to neighboring municipalities.
