In Radnor, water is infiltrating the sewer system through household sump pumps and downspouts connected to sewer pipes. This in turn drives up the township's annual sewer rent for all property owners. When storm water leaks into our sanitary sewer system, it flows through pipes with raw sewage, adding unnecessarily to the cost of processing.

Properties with on-site sewer systems are not subject to the sewer rent. Properties with private well water are charged $1,016 per year unless a meter connected to the well documents more or less than 100,000 gallons of water used the prior year. The 2023 sewer rent rate is $10.16 per 1,000 gallons of water used by a property in calendar year 2022. Utility Bills (comprised of Sewer Rent and Stormwater Fee) are mailed April 1st to all property owners. Sewer rent is not paid by mortgage companies.Īnnual sewer rent revenues fund the maintenance of the township's sanitary sewer system, such as clearing clogged underground sewer pipes, replacing and upgrading older pipes, and for making rental payments to the Radnor-Haverford-Marple Sewer Authority, which coordinates the regional flow of sewage from neighboring municipalities.

Approximately 6,900 owners of Radnor properties, which are connected to the public sewer system, are required to pay an annual sewer service charge (or rent) to Radnor Township.
