The permit is still under review with the state. In order to fulfill requirements of Federal and State regulations, Lower Paxton Township operates a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Program ( MS4) program and has submitted a Pollutant Reduction Plan as well as applied for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) permit. The parcel will appear and users can click on the shaded red area to see the impervious surface square footage and calculated ERU. The Impervious Surface Area Data Viewing Tool provides non-single family residential parcels with the ability to view their parcel and see the impervious area that has been calculated to reach the total number of ERUs for the parcel. Example: 45 ERUs multiplied by $32 equals $1,440. Multiply your ERUs by $32 to reach the total due. 1 equivalent residential unit ( ERU) equals $32. For example, commercial properties, schools, churches, etc. This calculation is used for non-single family homes. Customers wishing to appeal their billing classification, impervious area, or ERU may complete the Appeal Form (PDF) and return it to the Lower Paxton Township Authority. NSFRs above 1 ERU shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of ERUs by the ERU unit rate of $32 per quarter. Owners of non-single family residential parcels shall pay user fees based upon the number of square feet of impervious surface area (3,400 square feet equals 1 ERU). The Authority passed Resolution 19-01 establishing a stormwater fee (PDF) in the amount of $32 per quarter for a single-family residential parcel (1 Equivalent Residential Unit ( ERU)). All funds raised by a fee must be used solely for meeting stormwater mandates, not General Fund expenditures, making it more efficient.
It covers all properties in Lower Paxton, not just those that pay property taxes, making it fairer.Municipalities have two options to pay for new stormwater management mandates: taxes or a dedicated fee.
Why not pay for these mandates with a tax increase?įairness and efficiency.
