2025 Rate Increase
After much consideration and deliberation, the Northeastern York County Sewer Authority board has deemed it necessary to increase quarterly rates in order to compensate for overall increased costs and upcoming needs. Beginning with the 2nd quarter bill in 2025, the quarterly rate will increase to $145. This was a difficult decision to make, and we realize how the increase will affect our customers. We thank you for your understanding and will gladly answer any questions you may have.

East Manchester Township Sewer Expansion
Area 2 Sewer Extension Update – January 2025
The design of the Area 2 Sewer Extension is complete, and all bidding specifications and contract drawings have been completed. All necessary permits have been obtained from DEP, PennDOT, York County Conservation District, and East Manchester Township. MetEd has also substantially completed the extension of 3-phase power to the project area for the new pump station. Easements for sewers outside of the street right-of-way must still be obtained. Once the project is bid and awarded, construction is anticipated to last one year.
This project will serve approximately 200 single-family homes in the north-eastern portion of East Manchester Township. Flows will be collected at a new pump station located near Conewago Creek and will then be pumped up Park Street and eventually flow to the Musser Run Pump Station which is scheduled for an upgrade in 2025. This upgrade will ensure the station can handle the additional flows from Area 2. The project will add approximately 16,100 linear feet of gravity sewer, over 80 manholes, just over 4,900 linear feet of 6-inch diameter force main, and nearly 4,000 linear feet of 2-inch low pressure sewer force main.
The Authority will continue to apply for grants to reduce the costs of this extension and the other infrastructure improvements it must address within its aging system. Once adequate funds are secured through grants and borrowing, a schedule for bidding the Area 2 project will be developed.
If there are any questions regarding this project, please contact our office at 717-266-1493 or attend our Authority Board meetings.
