Johnstown water authority announces $2 sewer fee decrease for customers

Johnstown, PA (WJAC) — The Greater Johnstown Water Authority announced late Thursday that, effective Jan. 1 of 2022, customers will receive a $2 sewer maintenance fee decrease on their bill, according to a press release.

Currently, customers are charged $55 per month for sewer maintenance.

Officials say this decreased rate will remain in effect for four years, and was made possible by an agreement to allow the water authority to purchase the city's clean fill dump site.

“Through the purchase of the clean fill dump site, the Greater Johnstown Water Authority will have a new revenue stream that allows us to provide a rate reduction to the customers in the City of Johnstown sewer system and hold that rate for four years” stated Melissa Radovanic, Assistant Manager of RDM-Johnstown, the management company of the Greater Johnstown Water Authority.
