1. Account status today: the payoff amount and what it is made of.
2. Has a lien been filed? Is the $58.75 lien cost on the 2024 and 2025 bills from an earlier lien?
3. A payment plan of about $200 a month. Is a down payment needed? Does it stop the lien or any shutoff?
4. An itemized billing statement from January 2020 to today, sent by email or mail.
5. Why the sanitary charge shows $0.00 on the 2024 and 2025 bills. When did that start, and can earlier quarters be adjusted?
6. Does the $1,535.81 include the Nanticoke City sewer maintenance fee, or is that a separate balance?
7. Change the mailing address and sign up for paperless billing so bills stop going astray.

The account was brought current at closing in January 2020. Nothing has been paid since.
Only the stormwater fee, $14.40 a quarter, is being charged now. Most of the balance is older sanitary charges plus penalties and interest.
The balance grew by about $31 a quarter from 2024 to 2026. That is close to the city fee of $31.25, so ask whether the two are combined.
The Nanticoke City sewer fee is a separate payee on the closing statement. If it is billed separately and unpaid, it may be about $840 before penalties (27 quarters at $31.25, if the rate never changed). Not confirmed.

Penalty: 10% of current charges after the due date.
Interest: about one half percent a month on past due charges, at most 6% a year.
Bills go to the owner of record. Not getting a bill does not cancel what is due.
Paying a full year in advance gives 2% off sanitary and 4% off stormwater.
Lien cost: Luzerne County filing and satisfaction fee plus a WVSA processing fee of $20.00.
