All customers are charged a base rate that is based on their meter size. This base rate (minimum charge) is designed to recover a portion of the fixed costs incurred in providing water and sewer services. The costs include debt services, the cost of maintaining the water supply, treatment of water and sewer, distribution and service of facilities that are needed to provide water and sewer service to your home or business. This change in the rate structure was implemented for the water rate in January 2023 and for the sewer rate in January 2024. Please see the attached Rate Schedule for additional information.
See Rate Schedule Updated 01/16/24
The water and sewer bills are generated into two billing cycles, which means we have two due dates. All bills are either due on the 5th or 25th of each month. Each account falls into one of these cycles based on their location. There is a penalty of five percent applied to each bill that surpasses the due date.
If your main sanitary sewer line from your house is clogged, call the Borough at 814-443-2661 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., evenings and weekends call County Control at 814-445-1525.
If you experience low water pressure, call the Borough at 814-443-2661 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.— 4:30 p.m. This could be caused by a water break or a problem in your house that the Borough can inform you that you need to contact a plumber.
