The letter below will included with this month's (August's) sewer user fee bill when it mailed.

Beginning 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.

Among other things, council:

• Awarded bids for the paving of parts of Bell Ave, Schall Lane, and Rowe Lane.
• Heard an update from the secretary on our new sewer user fee billing company. Expect more detailed updates in the near future.
• Discussed working with KVWPCA to fix an ongoing issue with a specific manhole.
• Was informed the borough passed its 2026 financial audit with no issues.
• Approved Resolution 3 of 2026 authorizing the borough’s engineer to apply for a grant.
• Discussed additional grant applications the borough will be making in the future.
• Discussed the possible purchase of new public works equipment.

For anyone interested, the borough's 2026 paving project is accepting bids online at ​this link.  Please see that link for full information including project details, bid submission deadlines, adn any other information.

Among other things, council:

• 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. (This new calculation is subject to final budget approval by the school board at its meeting next week). Council thanked Dr. Keibler and Mr. Chapla for their work and expressed thanks to the school board for their consideration of this issue.
• Discussed progress being made by the secretary to transition sewer user fee billing to a new provider. Expect more information on this in the near future.
• Hired part-time summer workers for public works.
• Discussed ongoing plans for grant applications, public works projects, and equipment needs.
