What do I do if I want to sell my home?

 

When customers sell their home or business and a settlement date has been determined, either a realtor or title company should contact this office to request a final bill. There is a fee for this service, which is added to the current sanitary sewer charges.

 

Both North Wales Water and North Penn Water Authorities will, as a courtesy, provide our office with the latest water consumption meter “read” for the settlement date so that our billing department may calculate the final sewer bill. The seller will only pay the sanitary sewer bill up to the last day they own the home or business. Frequently, the settlement date falls within a quarterly billing cycle, so the final bill is usually lower than the regular bill.

 

Residents who are customers of Aqua America, or who have a metered well, must contact the Authority so that we may obtain the water read.  In order to do so, someone — either the current homeowner or their realtor — must contact the Authority to make an appointment so that one of our employees can go to the residence to read the water meter. Someone MUST be at the residence. Under no circumstances will staff enter the property if there is no one at the property. The billing department will then generate the “final” and contact the appropriate party with the read.
