Sewer Pumping: May through October, watch for announcements.
Septic tank pumping season has ended as of October 15, 2025.
Cost: $150 – please contact the Selectboard Office to make an appointment.
Sewer bills are issued twice a year, usually in June and November.
In September 2025, Stratford updated its water and sewer ordinances. Now all water bills get calculated using just one billing rule applied to each account equally – instead of multiple rules of tiers and units as in the past. Sewer bills, too, are now tied to your metered water use instead of being a flat fee for everybody, no matter how much or how little goes down the drain.
There will still be service fees for water and sewer service ($80 each) in addition to the fees based on your water meter readings. Together, the service fees plus your water meter reading determine your total water and sewer bills.
Learn more about the new rate schedule, including billing examples.
For additional billing information, please contact the Selectboard Office.
