Pennsylvania HB171 mandates wastewater utilities to offer a deduct meter program for eligible customers.

Pennsylvania HB171 amends Title 66 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to require wastewater utilities to develop a deduct meter program. Eligible customers can choose to be billed based on net sewer outflow, which is total water usage minus the volume measured by the deduct meter. To participate, customers must have a metered water supply, be current on payments, and be responsible for purchasing, installing, and maintaining the deduct meter.
