​A Reminder for Borough Sewer Users:

Bills for the borough’s new sewer user fee were mailed at the end of February and were due 3/28/24. The borough knows this is a new fee and a new process for our residents and there may be an adjustment period.  This is just a reminder to please pay those bills.

Please remember that this is a separate, new fee from the one that you are used to receiving in the past. That bill funds the transmission and treatment of sewage to the main treatment plant. The new fee that we are reminding you to pay will be used to maintain and improve sewer lines that the borough is responsible for.

If you have lost your bill, or never received it, please contact the Kiski Valley Water Pollution Control Authority at 724-568-3655.

For general information or questions about the new sewer user fee, please contact the borough secretary at 724-845-7359.
