Welcome to the home of the Lemon & Tunkhannock Townships Joint Municipal Sewer Authority, established and incorporated In the year of 2012. This site was created for the ease of sharing information between the Authority and its customers.
PROJECT STATUS:
The wastewater treatment plant has been in operation since June, 2023 and connection invoices were sent out to customers that had their grinder pumps tested, green tagged and approved for connection to the home for service with the Plant.
New!
Pay your invoices on-line with Square.
The Connection Ordinance for each Township mandates that connection from the home to the main line be completed within 60 days. The Authority allowed extended time for this process due to contractors being busy with multiple connections for homeowners. At this point in October, all customers who were billed in June, July or August should be connected or be scheduled with a contractor within 1 month. ANYONE CHOOSING NOT TO CONNECT WILL SOON BE INVOICED THE MONTHLY FEE OF $87 REGARDLESS OF CONNECTION. More than adequate time has been allowed to complete the connection process. Connection fees are due within 60 days of invoicing. The customers who have an overdue connection fee have not been charged a late fee at this point. but, soon will be charged a late fee. PLEASE PAY YOUR CONNECTION FEE ASAP. Reminder of the USDA 1% loan that is available to customers and the grant possiblility for 62 & older who qualify. Information is below.
