Borough looks to collect on sewer liens

Columbia Borough is currently collating information on properties with sewer liens, with an eye towards collecting on those debts. Since Lancaster Area Sewer Authority (LASA) recently assumed responsibility for collecting quarterly sewer fees, regular billing will no longer be done by the borough. Columbia Spy has obtained information through a Right-to-Know request on properties, owners, and outstanding lien amounts. Several liens have accumulated interest, and some are over 10 years old. According to the document PROPERTIES WITH LIENS 11/10/15 provided by the borough office, lien amounts total $14,810.66, with the total amount due with fees listed as $35,189.94. It was noted at last Monday's Columbia Borough Council meeting that total uncollected fees eight years ago were $150,000.

The document below lists current outstanding liens, with individual amounts and totals. 47 properties are listed. Columbia Spy has redacted names, addresses, and account numbers at this time.
