Sewer Maintenance
Sewer maintenance are billed annually, based on a calendar year. The billing is for properties that are connected to Rockaway Township Sewer Lines.
The Sewer Maintenance rate has increased from $269 to $289 to improve system pump controls, provide sewer operating fund balance and to cover the increased cost of treatment of sewage usage. An aging system demands capital investments to prevent extreme rate increases due to system failures. Please keep in mind with this $20 rate increase, the Township still has one of the lowest sewer rates in Morris County.2019 Sewer Maintenance Bills were mailed on or about May 24, 2019.
Payments are due by June 24, 2019 without penalties.
