Sewage, garbage rates in Bridgeville to increase; property tax remains the same
Bridgeville property owners will see no real estate tax increase in 2026, but they will pay more for their garbage and sewage services.
The budget totals about $7.53 million and maintains a tax rate of 6.5 mills on buildings and 10 mills on land.
Owners of a property assessed at Bridgeville’s median property value of $98,800 would continue to pay about $815 per year in real estate tax.
Manager Joe Kauer confirmed the borough will pass along an Alcosan fee increase. The sewer rate for 2026 is $19.48 per 1,000 gallons and an $8.93 monthly customer service charge.
The quarterly garbage fee for 2026 is $83, an increase from $77.
The budget allots $300,000 for a road resurfacing project; a new picnic shelter at Chartiers Park, which half of it will be covered by a state grant; a new dump truck for snow removal; $15,000 for planning to improve traffic and revitalization of the north end of Washington Avenue; a new connector sidewalk on Chartiers Street; and contributions to SouthBridge EMS, the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Company and the Bridgeville Public Library.
The full budget can be viewed at the borough website, bridgevilleboro.com.
