The average cost per property will be a total of $13,936 which includes the public improvement construction cost (benefit assessment) of $10,000, Township tapping fee of $1,266 and the regional sewer authority fee of $2,670.

The annual user fee for residential sewer service in Upper Providence Township is $300.00 per year per equivalent dwelling unit. The Township bills the annual user fee on a quarterly basis at $75.00 per quarter.
