Refuse Billing Switch FAQ
As of 2023 all refuse billing will be handled by Erie Water Works. However, this does not change the contracted amount to be paid, nor does it change the contracted hauler. This change will simply streamline the billing process. Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the billing switch.

You can reach out after 4/1/2023 to obtain the new account number to access the account online.
