WPJWA is New Sewage Billing Agency

Beginning January 1, 2012, Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority will become the Sewage-Billing Agent for the Borough. 

All residents will receive a combined water and sewer bill.  In April, residents will receive two bills- one from the current Sewage Billing Agency (Pennsylvania Municipal Service Company-PAMS) and one from Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority.  The reason for this is that PAMS is billing for water consumption used in the last quarter of 2011 as they have a three-month delay in billing. Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority will be billing water and sewer for the most recent three- month billing period (Jan. through March 2012).

Edgewood is joining 14 other municipalities in the area who now bill sewer and water fees jointly through WPJWA due to a significant increase in collection rates and simplified billing.

You will receive information in the mail from WPJWA regarding this matter; however, we would like to give residents as much notice as possible to prepare for the two bills they will receive in April.

All outstanding charges billed by PAMS should be paid to PAMS. PAMS will continue to collect delinquent sewage accounts.

Please contact the Borough if you have any questions regarding this matter.
