Sewer Rates and Solicitation Rules

Mt. Lebanon Commissioners approved sewer rate increases last week, from $2.45 per 1,000 gallons of water used to $4.05 per 1,000 gallons of water used, effective with January bills. The increase will cost the average homeowner $90 a year.

The money will be used for sewer repairs as part of a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency.

The commissioners voted to update the town's solicitation ordinance to stop requiring canvassers to get municipal permits before going door to door after the municipality lost a federal court case that ruled the practice was unconstitutional. The provisions regarding people selling something remain unchanged.
