Beginning January 1, 2018, the ALCOSAN sewer rate will increase by 52 cents from $6.91 to $7.43 per 1,000 gallons of water used and the quarterly customer service charge will increase by $1.09, from $14.51 to $15.60 per quarter which equates to a monthly charge of $5.20 per month. As such, the Borough of Brentwood will need to increase their rates to fund current and future mandated sewer infrastructure projects. Beginning January 1, 2018, the Borough of Brentwood sewer rate will also increase 7.50 percent from $8.29 to $8.91 per thousand gallons of water used and likewise the quarterly customer service charge will increase from $12.76 to $13.72 per quarter (7.50%) which equates to a monthly change from $4.25 per month to $4.57 per month. Over $5 million dollars’ worth of expenditures are budgeted in the Borough’s Sanitary Sewer Fund for 2018. A majority of these expenses are associated with the increase in the ALCOSAN treatment fees ($2.2 million) as well as the major capital improvement repairs associated with the EPA Consent Decree Order ($966,000). Sanitary Sewer related Debt Service accounts for roughly $120,000 and Transfers account for $605,000.00. Capital Improvement Fund As indicated in Section 3, the 2018 Budget will also see approximately $2,253,000.00 in expenditures for such capital projects as the Borough’s new computers, new Police Vehicle, Parks Tractor, new traffic signals at Brownsville Road and Marylea Avenue, the 2018 Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Plan, Stormwater Management, Pool repairs, and the demolition of 10-12 Marylea Avenue dilapidated structure. In addition, approximately $725,000 in Debt Service for past capital projects is included in the Capital Improvement Fund. In 2014, the Borough adopted a 5-Year Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance program. The Borough dedicates $500,000 each year to repair and maintain the Borough 33 miles of streets. The Capital Improvement Fund is funded primarily through a transfer from the General Fund. In 2018, this transfer is budgeted at $1.4 million. Brentwood Park Fund The 2018 Park Fund will be dedicated to future park/stadium capital projects. Revenues 36 BRENTWOOD-BALDWIN-WHITEHALL
