Delta Township grants automatic sewer credits to all residential customers April-September. The process referred to as "Summer Sewer Max", assures summer sewer bills will not increase for seasonal water usage such as filling pools and lawn irrigation.
A "sewer maximum" is established by calculating the average winter usage (October-March). This average is the maximum a customer will be billed for sewer April September. Customers will be charged for full water usage during these months, but the sewer portion of the bill will not exceed the "sewer maximum". Therefore, customers will avoid paying sewer charges for excess water usage during the summer months. In addition, this policy makes secondary irrigation meters unnecessary.
This credit is automatic and does not require you to contact us. However, if you have any questions regarding the calculation of the sewer credit, please contact the Delta Township Accounting Department at 323-8510.

Senior Council's Arbor Day Tree Planting
will be held Saturday, April 21 at Grand Woods Park (rain date April 28).
Be a part of making our Delta Township parks environmentally green. We will be planting 100 trees. This year, a Girl Scout troop from Waverly will be assisting with the planting. Wear long pants, long sleeves and gloves. All equipment will be provided but if you have a favorite shovel, please bring it. Trees are less than a foot tall so planting will consist of making a shovel slit, putting the tree in, tapping the ground down with your foot and giving it a quart of water (provided). Each tree shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to plant. Meet at the parking lot by the picnic pavilion at 9:30 a.m. Planting will likely get underway at about 10 a.m. after driving back to the tree planting site.
