The Burgettstown-Smith Township Joint Sewage Authority was created in 1972 by Smith Township and Burgettstown Borough under the Municipal Authorities Act of 1945. Our mission is to provide and maintain a comprehensive sewer collection, conveyance, and treatment system for the community. Currently, the Authority owns and operates 54 miles of sewer lines and two lift stations. We serve approximately 2,800 customers through a gravity-feed system and 42 customers utilizing grinder pumps. Per regulations, any dwelling within 150 feet of a sewer line must connect to the system. Residents are responsible for ensuring caps are maintained on all clean-outs located outside their dwelling.
