Beginning in December, 2012, Jordan Tax Service bills residents on a monthly basis for sewer usage. Pennsylvania American Water no longer will perform this service due to a new computer system. On the Jordan Tax bill you can see exactly how many gallons of water have been used for a month, and see the exact calculation of the sewer portion of the bill.
If you look at the section of the bill entitled Current Wastewater Charges, you will see two lines:
Line Number One: ALCOSAN Svc Charge
The Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) has a monthly service charge of $3.54 per account. This is passed on to the end user in this portion of the bill.
Line Number Two: Volume
The Borough of Dormont has two components to its billing in addition to the monthly service fee:
1. A charge of $5.05 per 1,000 gallons of water used. This is the basic fee charged by ALCOSAN..
2. A maintenance charge of $4.50 per 1,000 gallons of water used. This fee helps the Borough of Dormont to construct new sanitary lines and maintain the existing sanitary sewer lines.
Example: Billing Calculation:
If a resident were to use 18,000 gallons of water in July,
the bill would be calculated as follows:
$4.32 per 1000 gallons x 18,000 gallons = $77.76
$4.50 per 1000 gallons x 18,000 gallons = $81.00
$3.02 Monthly Service Charge = $ 3.02
Therefore, the sewer charges for the month of July would be $161.78.

The Borough of Dormont has a deep respect for the traditions of Dormont. In recent years, attendance has declined as many prior visitors have decided to spend more time with their family at cookouts and other events. Furthermore, volunteerism has also been on the decline nationally making it tough to recruit the many volunteers needed to run the activities traditionally expected for the day and run an event all residents can be proud of.
For the next two years, July 4th will fall on a weekend, likely pushing attendance lower as many families may go out of town and even more difficult to recruit volunteers. Therefore, upon reflection and discussion, the Borough of Dormont will take the next two years to reimagine what the annual 4th of July celebration could look like.
If you, or a group to which you belong to, are interested in providing other activities that evening, please contact Beth Bachman at BBachman@boro.dormont.pa.us or 412-561-8900 x227.
Federal firework regulations do not allow for the event to be held in the park.
