Sewage

Usually the water provider is also the sewage provider. Since I won’t know where in Allegheny County that the residence will be located, I won’t know for sure who the provider will be. Nonetheless, the sewage bill will be the responsibility of the realty company. You as the tenant don’t necessarily pay sewage in other apartments, so this is nothing special. The sewage bill will be a bit high with more than 100 units, but it will still be covered as any other line item with the budget of FSP Realty.

I do know PWSA (Pittsburgh Water and Sewage Authority) is very expensive. This is because they are the only choice, and don’t manage their money well. They have projects, and to pay for it, they will increase the utility bill for their customers. I am not sure how things are outside of the Pittsburgh city limits, but I will like to hope that they would be reasonable. I personally think PWSA is too expensive for most people. This will be another reason why I would rather taller towers for the rentals rather than low rise buildings. By combining everything into one bill, it will make negotiating with PWSA a little easier.
