Water & Sewer Utility

The Water Utility manages, operates, and maintains wells, storage tanks, distribution piping, and fire hydrants within the Township.

Sparta Township now accepts credit card payments for water, and sewer bills, as well as property taxes and garbage (solid waste) bills. There is a service fee assessed by the third-party vendor for the processing of any such transactions. The Township does not receive any portion of these monies as relates to this service payment option. Therefore, the municipality cannot waive or reduce this transaction fee for any reason.
