Sewage

Sewage is the outflow of water that comes from your house.  Baldwin Borough has set a sewage rate to cover the costs associated with water treatment and the amount of waste water you are creating.  The sewage bill is dependent on your water usage.

2026 Sewage Rate

$16.02 per every 1,000 gallons used with a monthly surcharge of $21.75

Sewage Plant

ALCOSAN or Pleasant Hills Sewer Authority dependent on your location in Baldwin. Check the street listing here to find out which treatment plant serves your street.

How to Pay your Sewage Bill

Baldwin contracts with Legal Tax Service to collect monthly sewage bills. Payments can be made by mail, a drop off box located at the Borough Building, or by paying online at www.legaltaxservice.com. Please contact Legal Tax Services at 412-464-9555 for questions about your bill.

Sewer Back Ups 

Call the Borough if you experience a sewer backup. Baldwin Public Works employees will come to check the main sewer. In many cases, this may prevent you having to call a plumber. If, however, you call a plumber first, and later discover that the Borough main caused the problem, the Borough may not assume the cost of your plumber. 

ALCOSAN Clean Water Assistance Fund

 If your residence is in the ALCOSAN service area (check the street listing here), you may be eligible for assistance paying your sewage bill. This program provides a $30 credit to your bill every three months for low income families. Social service agencies across the region accept and process applications. For more details and agency contact info, see the program fact sheet.
