Letter to the editor: Paying on both ends with MAWC

Tribune-Review | Thursday, March 12, 2020 9:00 a.m.

On Feb. 11 at 4:15 a.m., we awoke to our water pipes banging. Then we had brown, muddy water in our house. On Water Street in West Newton at 7:40 a.m., the fire hydrants were open full onto the streets, and water crews were working on several streets.

We pay the highest sewage rates in the state — $63 per month plus usage. The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County tells us to let our water run to clear the muddy, brown water. Well, it costs us money to do this both ways, in water and sewage.
