Millvale council to consider resolution confirming ALCOSAN rate increase
Summary
Council discussed an Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) rate increase — wastewater from $11.92 to $12.76 per 1,000 gallons and a quarterly customer fee from $25.05 to $26.80 — and agreed to add a resolution to next week's agenda for formal consideration.
Millvale Borough Council discussed a forthcoming rate change from the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) and directed staff to bring a resolution to next week’s voting meeting.
Council members were presented with the specific figures: ALCOSAN’s wastewater rate would rise from $11.92 to $12.76 per 1,000 gallons, and the ALCOSAN quarterly customer-service fee would increase from $25.05 to $26.80 (equivalent to $8.93 per month). Staff noted that the municipal partner (JTS) will need an ordinance or resolution to confirm the change at the borough level. The item was recorded for addition to the March 10, 2026 voting meeting agenda.
The matter also drew operational attention from Public Works: Interim Borough Manager and Public Works Director Joseph Kypta reported attending an ALCOSAN meeting about the regional tunnel system project, linking the infrastructure work to the rate discussion and broader system investments. No formal vote was taken at the workshop; council scheduled the resolution for the next voting meeting so members can consider a formal action.
