Construction of the Collection System
editThe original sanitary sewer system was constructed in three project phases[1] in the early 1950s through the latter part of the 1960s throughout Upper Yoder Township. The collected waste water is treated[2] at the Dornick Point Sewage Treatment Plant on the Western edge of Johnstown city limits.
Sewage Authority
editThe authority board members are elected to five-year terms,[1] all the terms are staggered so there is never an inexperienced authority board of directors
System Fees
editAs of 2009, a tap-in fee to the sanitary sewer system cost $1,200.00 with an inspection fee of $50.00. Customers pay monthly or quarterly fees to the UTYA for transporting waste to the plant at Dornick Point, as well as to the Johnstown Regional Sewage for treatment of waste.
