Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority Problems

Well JB, You disappointed me! Your last comment shows us all you are a fraud and a apologist for the big piggies who will, if they are allowed to continue in office, destroy our once nice towns.

You had no proof and so you resorted to your usual whiny attempts at masking over the true facts printed in the blog.

Can you hear me now Car 54!

You are a fraud and/or blind! Edgewater Park Reporter 9/18/09, 9 pm

The Edgewater Park Sewer Authority was the subject of conversation during the July meeting of the Willingboro MUA. Evidently the Edgewater Park Sewer Authority has not paid the Willingboro MUA for services rendered.

The following is taken from the July Minutes of the Willingboro MUA.

"The Treasurer said that he had a conversation with the Executive Director of the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority about the unpaid bill that was due in June.

He continued that their Executive Director provided answers that didn’t make sense to him and seemed just to be excuses, the conversation ended abruptly.

The Executive Director said that he too expressed concern to the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority’s Executive Director, Mr. Conard, and met with him last week. He said that one of the reasons given by Mr. Conard was that they did not receive the meter readings from New Jersey American Water co. until a few days ago.

Mr. Bateman said that he suggested to Mr. Conard that we prepare the quarterly billing and forward it to them for payment.

Mr. Conard was agreeable to that and Mr. Bateman explained that the Treasurer had prepared an Excel Spreadsheet for the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority many years ago that only required them to enter commercial water meter readings. This amounted to about 90 meter readings out of a total of nearly 4,000 accounts.

He said our Billing Clerk would use this spreadsheet to prepare our invoice to

Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority and that we would get the meter readings from New Jersey American Water Co.

He also said that Mr. Conard would now prepare the payment to us for their quarter ending May 2009 so that we could expect a check in August." 21 July 2009

Something is wrong with the management of the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority if they did not pay the quarterly bill to the Willingboro MUA for the services they provide or realize that they owed this money. The statement by the Willingboro MUA Treasure's comment that, " their (EPSA) Executive Director provided answers that didn’t make sense to him and seemed just to be excuses", the conversation ended abruptly.

The Willingboro MUA provides the Waste treatment services as well as other maintenance services for the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority and is the largest payable liability that the EPSA has. It is something that you would think would have been noticed by the EPSA Board Chairman and Board Members as well as the Executive Director.

This may just be the tip of the iceberg of problems occurring with the EPSA. Just remember and look at your sewer bill that you just received last month and compare it to your August 2008 bill. Did you notice the increase? Well be prepared for more increases.

The EPSA is also looking to expand sewer lines to the pending commercial development on Rt 130 at the Sewer Tax Payers expense. The Township Committee has replaced all of the Sewer Board Members who opposed doing this expansion at the Rate Payer's expense. The current are all onboard with the expansion and the cost for this being picked up by the ESPA. In most towns, it is the developer who pays for this, not the taxpayers.

This is just another example of the Township Committee and the Current ESPA members pushing for taxpayer funded projects that benefit developers, engineers and attorneys, who finance their campaigns through nefarious methods.

Just one question. Where is the press on this. Is there any reporter worth their salt at the local papers who still do investigative reporting? No I don't think so, instead they write their stories from press releases or information given to them by public officials and never check out the facts before they write about it.
