Butler Area Sewer Authority customers are going to be seeing an increase in their bill.
The authority’s board approved an increase of $60 per year for flat-rate customers—which makes up a majority of those who use the system.
BASA officials say the rate increase is needed to pay for repairs to the aging sewer system, along with a corrective action plan issued by the Department of Environmental Protection.
Customers will see the rate increase work out to $15 more per quarter.
The rate hike goes into effect starting July 1st, meaning customers won’t see the increase reflected in their bill for another quarter.
