Press Release - May 3, 2012
The North Huntingdon Township Municipal Authority (NHTMA)
took action at its regular meeting on May 3, 2012 to adopt
an $8 million annual budget, as well as update its $12.7
million five-year capital improvement plan designed to
continue repairing its aging infrastructure.
The Authority's 2013 fiscal year began on May 1,
2012.
Operating expenses are projected to increase by 2%, and
revenues are projected to increase by 3%.
Due to the need for continuing capital improvements, monthly
rates for NHTMA residential customers will increase by $1.00
to a total of $44.30 per month beginning with service for
May, 2012. This
increase will result in a resident paying an additional
$12.00 per year for sewage service, or a total of $1.46 per
day. Commercial
customers will see a similar increase of $1.00 per month for
each 4,200 gallons of water used.
