]]><![CDATA[Sewer User Fee Billing Change]]>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 22:11:01 GMThttps://www.westleechburg.us/news--announcements/sewer-user-fee-billing-changeBeginning with the August, 2026 billing cycle, a new contractor will be handling billing for the borough’s sewer user fee. Pennsylvania Municipal Services (PAMS) will be sending out the bills in August and handling collection of any overdue accounts. This change is being made to improve the payment experience for everyone paying this (online payment will be accepted).

As of July 30, 2026 KVWPCA will NOT be accepting payment for West Leechburg Borough sewer user fees. Any checks arriving at KVWPCA after that date will be voided and returned to the sender. DO NOT send KVWPCA checks after July 30.

Please look for your August sewer user fee bill for additional details on the new sewer user fee payment experience. 

​*At this time, the sewer user fee amount ($40 per EDU per quarter) has not changed.

  • Heard from Dr. David Keibler, superintendent, and Mr. Jacob Chapla, business manager, from Leechburg Area School District. They were at the meeting to discuss the new method the school district is planning to use to calculate real estate taxes in the district. This new method will see a more equal distribution of the tax burden across the district, resulting in lower taxes across the district.

Council thanked Dr. Keibler and Mr. Chapla for their work and expressed thanks to the school board for their consideration of this issue.

  • Approved a contract with PA Municipal Services (PAMS) to begin collecting the borough’s quarterly sewer user fee. The goal is for PAMS to take over in the third quarter of the year (August bill) but that is dependent on data being transferred and accounts set up. Expect at least one more bill from KVWPCA for the second quarter. We will post more information on this in the near future,s o be on the lookout for those posts.
  • Approved Ordinance 342 allowing PA Municipal Services to serve as the collection agent for the borough’s sewer user fee.
  • Discussed passing a data center ordinance that would regulate the location and other items related to placing a data center in the borough. The borough has no news of a data center being put in town, we are being proactive in case one comes along. Currently, without an ordinance, we have no regulatory power over data center placement. NO, legally, we cannot ban data centers from the entire borough.
  • Authorized HRG to advertise for bids for the 2026 paving project. 
  • Discussed hiring part time summer help for the public works crew. If you know anyone interested (the position is great for high school or college kids in the summer) please contact the secretary at secretary@westleechburg.us or 724-845-7359.
