UAJA operates independently of the municipalities served. There is however, a significant effort by the Authority to cooperate with the municipalities on environmental issues and growth issues. The Centre Region municipalities have adopted a comprehensive plan, and UAJA works with the municipalities to provide services according to the plan.
The board sets UAJAs budget, approves all extensions to the sewer system, and sets all policies for billing, construction standards, planning, etc. UAJAs board members are experts carefully selected by their respective municipalities. Most have served more than one term. The board members receive no compensation for service, and are all volunteers.
