In 2008, an audit of the authority revealed billing regularities.[3] A year later, the former executive director pleaded guilty to taking "unauthorized payroll disbursements" and taking cash from customers and was sentenced to up to 2 years in prison and ordered to repay $141,000.[4] In 2009, the authority raised sewage rates $2.70, a move that was expected to generate $30,000, which would pay for $36,000 in capital improvements.[1]
