Waterline Replacement Construction Projects

The Brighton Township Municipal Authority’s contract with Graziani Construction, Inc. for the second phase of waterline construction on Tuscarawas Road is substantially completed with restoration of yards remaining.

Tuscarawas Road: Mackall Drive to Center Drive

The Authority has a maintenance bond in place to address any items that need addressed, including yards and driveways that develop issues over the winter months.

2018 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Released by the Brighton Township Municipal Authority

The Brighton Township Municipal Authority has issued their 2018 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report on water testing performed in 2017. The Authority is pleased to report that their drinking water meets all Federal and State requirements. The report can be read or downloaded here.

Delinquent Water & Sewage Account Policy Amended

The Municipal Authority and Sewage Authority have amended their Delinquent Account Policy to eliminate the sending of Late Notices. Delinquent water and sewage charges are included on the bill card sent monthly to each account. Therefore, the sending of Late Notices was a duplicate effort.

Prior to service termination, delinquent accounts will continue to receive a certified mail Shut-Off Notice providing an opportunity to pay the amount in arrears. A Shut-Off Notice will be posted on the property just prior to service termination. Fees for delinquent collections will be added to the customer account and remain as follows:

Certified Mailing – $15.00

Delinquent Posting – $10.00

Delinquent Water Turn-Off – $20.00

Delinquent Water Turn-On – $20.00

The Municipal and Sewage Authorities have options for prompt and quick payments of your water and sewage charges to help you avoid late fees or penalties that can occur as a result of delays that can occur with mail service. Visit the Water Sewage Authorities Page to review the options available.
