On Wednesday, the Municipal authority of Westmoreland county’s board members approved the purchase of Westmoreland Fayette Municipal Sewage Authority.
The Trib reports that the authority will pay $2.25 million in cash and assume the remaining $12.8 million debt owed on loans used to upgrade the treatment plant in 2016. The deal also calls for Scottdale and Everson boroughs, which account for a majority of the area served by the system, to split $2.45 million in cash now in the Westmoreland Fayette utility’s bank accounts. MAWC will have nearly 32,000 sewer customers when it assumes control of the system Aug. 1.
The authority also sells water to more than 122,000 customers in Westmoreland, Allegheny, Armstrong, Fayette and Indiana counties.
