Three (3) user classes will be established for the purpose of distributing the costs for treatment and collection, which will apply to both South Kearny and the Kearny Meadowlands. The user classes are as follows:
Class I
All customers with billing based on municipal water utility meter
Class II
Customers with billing based on private water meters
Class III
Customers with billing based on wastewater meters
User Fee
A consistent rate will be charged for all Classes. The KMUA base rate for the current year is $6.51 per hundred cubic feet of water consumption (Class I and II) or wastewater metered (Class III). The rate for KMUA PVSC Charges is $4.66. In addition, a surcharge will apply to those customers which have wastewater sampled by PVSC. The surcharge will apply to Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) discharged which is in excess of the average BOD or TSS concentrations of the Town of Kearny. The surcharge rate shall be the same as that charged to the Town of Kearny by PVSC.
The above revised user charges to become effective January 1, 2021.
