Sewer Customer Letter
Dear Customers:
Since the start-up of the Eldred Township Sewer System sincere efforts have been made to keep costs under control. The sewer rate will remain at $50.00 per customer per month. Please remember to fill out your coupon stubs for accurate credit to your account. The sewer system usage payment is due on or before the 1st of the month with a $12.00 administrative fee added monthly if not paid by the 20th day of the month. Just a reminder, if you use the drop off box to leave your payment, the payment is considered late and a late fee will be added to your account when the payment is received after the 20th of the month even if the check is dated for an earlier date. The drop off box is checked daily. Prompt payments are a savings to you as well as the sewer system.
Another way to keep the cost of the monthly sewer rate as low as possible is if everyone follows the rules of never putting the following items into the sewer system which causes a lot of extra maintenance to the pump stations. Baby wipes, sanitary napkins or tampons, diapers, household greases/fats, flammable materials, lubricating oil, strong chemicals, glass or any cloth materials of any kind should never be placed into the sewer system. Another example of this is no sump pumps or gutters should be connected to the sewer system. By following these rules, extra maintenance to the pump stations can be eliminated.
If your grinder pump needs service or the red light is flashing, you should immediately turn off the power to your pump by pulling the breaker which is located beside the red light. Then call the township office number at (814) 436-7654 to report that service is needed. Please leave a message at the township office and your pump will be serviced as soon as possible.
Please help us by sending in your payments on time. Your cooperation in making timely payments is in fairness to the other customers of the sewer system, as well as, to the township. If you should have any questions, please give us a call at the township office at (814) 436-7654. By working together, we will see the best results.

Sewer System History
The Eldred Township Sewer System was built in 2005 and the Sewer Plant is located on Wood Street in Grand Valley, PA. The Sewer System provides services to approximately 140 customers in the township.
There is a drop off box located at the township building for your convenience, but please keep in mind that the payment received date is based on the date the payment was dropped off in the box not the date of the check, so back dating a check doesn’t mean it wasn’t late. Please make sure your payment is in the box on time to avoid late fees, after all, there is already a 20-day grace period.
If you should need to discuss payments or any other concerns, you may call the township office. If you cannot pay your bill on time, please make payment arrangements with the Township before things get out of hand and legal actions are taken.
Please help with grinder pump maintenance by never putting baby wipes, sanitary products, grease / fats, chemicals, or cloth materials of any kind into the sewer system. These items will cause the grinder pump to stop working and your red light will turn on indicating maintenance is needed. If your grinder pump needs service and the red light is flashing, you should immediately turn off the power to your pump by pulling the breaker and call the township office to leave a message that your pump needs service. It is your responsibility to report grinder pump problems to the township. It is the only way we know there is a problem and your pump needs maintenance. We appreciate your cooperation and help with these matters!
