SIDNEY An update on the sewer rates for Port Jefferson residents was presented during Sidney City Council’s Monday evening workshop session.
Village residents will see a decrease in what they will be paying in 2021 compared to 2020. The overall rate, which includes treatment and management charges, is down 4.9% for 2021 at $4.29 per 100 cubic feet (Ccf) of sewage compared to the $4.50 Ccf rate charged in 2020.
