Private on site sewers must be pumped every three years. Documentation needs to be sent to the Township, this can be a copy of the service order or invoice. Please email to permits@kennett.pa.us or drop it off/mail it to the Township office.

Please Note: if your sewer is serviced by McGovern you do not need to submit documentation.  McGovern notifies the Township on your behalf.

Kennett Township does not own and can’t touch any of Chester Water meters. Please contact Chester Water at 610.876.8181. Chester Water must inform Jeremey Lindsey at finance@kennett.pa.us of any changes they make to your consumption to possibly receive a revised invoice.

Common Reasons Your Sewer Bill May Increase:

• Filling a swimming pool

• Running or leaking toilets

• Dripping faucets or sinks

• Excessive lawn watering or sprinkler use

• Frequent car washing

Even small leaks or increased water usage can impact your sewer charges, so it’s a good idea to check for any issues regularly.
