Street Light Billing Changes Effective July 1, 2025: In years prior to 2025, the Street Light fee was billed on an annual basis at the beginning of each year, typically in February. Beginning in July 2025, we will include this fee on the same quarterly bill form issued for sanitary sewer and stormwater fees. For the remainder of 2025 only, this fee amount will be evenly split between the quarterly bill issued at the beginning of July and the quarterly bill issued at the beginning of October. Beginning in 2026, the fee amount will be split evenly among the usual four quarterly billings issued, which include charges for sanitary sewer service and stormwater service.

For all street lighting in the Township, our electric utility, PPL, charges the Township for this street lighting service. If you have street lighting along the street(s) bordering your property, the Township charges a fee for this service. Not all streets in the Township are provided with street lighting service. These fees are charged to all property owners on streets where this service is provided, and is not limited to those properties where the actual lighting fixtures are located. The fee schedule established for this service determines the fee amount for each property based upon the type of fixture and the amount of “frontage” of the property along the street(s) where service is provided. Frontage is determined by the length of each property along each street from property line to property line. Please note that PPL charges the Township based upon the type and number of each fixture. It is not a metered service. Therefore, even if a fixture is not working, the Township is still being charged. If you notice that a fixture is not working, please report this to the Township office.
