Upper Montgomery Joint Authority understands that any sewer rate increase impacts our residents, and we do not take that decision lightly. 💧🏠 The 8% rate increase this year is part of a long-term plan to fund critical upgrades to the Authority’s aging biosolids treatment equipment ⚙️ and ensure the continued reliability of our wastewater system. 🚰
Much of the equipment used to process and manage solids at the treatment plant has reached or is nearing the end of its useful life. ⏳ Replacing and upgrading these systems now helps us avoid unexpected breakdowns, emergency repairs, higher operating costs, and potential service disruptions in the future. 🛠️ These improvements will also help the Authority continue environmentally responsible operations 🌱 while maintaining compliance with increasingly stringent regulations. ✅
Last year’s 13% increase and this year’s 8% increase were structured in phases 📈 to help spread the financial impact over time while allowing the Authority to move forward with an approximately $8.5 million capital improvement project. 🏗️ These investments are necessary to protect public health, support reliable sewer service, and maintain infrastructure that serves our communities every day. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
UMJA remains committed to operating as efficiently and responsibly as possible 🤝 while planning for the long-term needs of the system and the residents we serve.

We had a great opportunity to step behind the scenes this week with a staff tour at Worth & Company, Inc.!

Seeing firsthand the level of detail, coordination, and craftsmanship that goes into building a project was truly impressive. From fabrication to final assembly, it gave our team a deeper appreciation for the planning and precision required long before materials ever arrive on site.

Experiences like this help strengthen our collaboration and understanding, ultimately leading to better projects and better service for our community.

Thank you to the team at Worth & Company, Inc. for hosting us and sharing your expertise!

Session 9 : ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia
The students from Upper Perkiomen School District had a day full of adventure out on the water at Green Lane Park with the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy for their final celebration of the 2026 ACE Program. The students boarded the Dragonfly 1 solar powered boat where they did water tests for pH, nitrates, and turbidity. They also scouted wildlife, fished and spent some time birdwatching.

A big THANK YOU to Tosco's Brick-Oven Pizza & Restaurant for providing the delicious hoagie tray for lunch!
