City of Pittsburgh: Water and Sewer Shutoff Moratorium

The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority has imposed a moratorium on shutoffs of water and wastewater service, which will remain in effect until September 1, 2020. While customers will still be billed for services during that period, a customer’s failure to pay his or her bills on time will not result in a shutoff of services before September 1. (Note, however, that services to a customer may be shut off for lack of payment on that customer’s bill after September 1 unless the moratorium is extended.)
