Sewer Use Billing and Payment Options
Billing occurs the first day of each calendar quarter and is due at the end of that respective month.  Each quarter is paid in advance (example: January billing covers January, February and March). 

The Authority utilizes a flat-rate billing system.  This system is based on the amount of wastewater discharged by a typical single-family residence.  The single-family residence is equated to one (1) E.D.U. (Equivalent Dwelling Unit).  The current quarterly charge is $75 per E.D.U.  All other uses are a function of this multiplier.  By way of example, if you owned a business that discharged twice as much wastewater as a single-family home you would be charged two (2) E.D.U.'s or $150 per quarter.

The Authority accepts money orders, checks (both personal and business) and cash.  At the current time, we are unable to accept credit card or online payments.  Checks should be made payable to Valley Forge Sewer Authority or VFSA.  If paying by mail, please include your return stub with your payment to ensure proper credit.  A mail slot is located on the front door of the Administration Building if you wish to drop off your payment after the office is closed.

The Authority assesses interest at the rate of .833% per month for payments made 31 days or more after the billing date.  If payments are made 61 days or later, a penalty of 10% is added.
