Sewer

The Village of Bergen maintains the sanitary and storm sewer system throughout the Village. If you have any questions or concerns please call the Village Office.

The Village of Bergen's sanitary system is a "gray water" septic system. Each residence or commercial building has its own septic tank. The liquid from the tank finds its way to the sewer treatment plant via gravity and several pump stations placed throughout the village. Approximately every three years, the tanks are cleaned of all the remaining solids. It is very important that you leave the area around your septic tank cover clear to allow workers easy access. If you are unaware of the location of your tank, you can request a map of its location from the Village Office.

Re-Levy of Unpaid Sewer Bills to Taxes

After May 9th of each year, any unpaid sewer bill will be added to your Village tax bill.
