Master Billing Meter Project

Pleasant Hills Authority will be installing twelve (12) Master Meters within its service area for the purpose of measuring actual sanitary sewage flows.  This information will be used for billing purposes to the Boroughs of Pleasant Hills, Baldwin and Whitehall and the Township of South Park.  These Master Meters will not be used for direct billing to residential or commercial properties, which will continue to be based on water consumption at a rate set by the individual municipality.  Bids were received for the project on October 25, 2022 and the Authority issued Bonds on December 7, 2022 in the amount of $3.71 million to pay for the project.  On December 14, 2022, Contract One - General was awarded to W.A. Petrakis in the amount of $2,274,600 and Contract Two - Electrical was awarded to Right Electric in the amount of $315,000.  The Notice to Proceed was issued to the contractors on March 1, 2023. Construction was delayed waiting on the meters. Construction began in January 2024 and ten (10) meters have been installed to date.
