Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority must be braindead and stupid

I just opened my monthly water and sewer bill.  Another $85.00 down the drain.  But included in my bill was a yellow paper that informed me that Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) has appointed Jordan Tax Service, Inc. ("Jordan") as Collector and the law firm of Goehring, Rutter & Boehm, P.C. "GRB" as Special Legal Counsel for the collection of delinquent water and sewer charges. 
This company collects the deliquent bills for a 15% commission.  PLUS postage and other charges, expenses and fees for PWSA delinquent claims not paid within 90 days of the initial billing date.  Attorney fees may also be added to the delinquent cliams. 
Just f*ing the Pittsburgh tax payer all around.  Not only do we have high water bills, if we run into any kind of problem after us, they can put a bounty hunter after us and we could end up paying hundreds of dollars for a $50 bill.

Aqua Pimps! I have same

Aqua Pimps! I have same experiences. No matter how mcuh I pay the past due never goes down.

Every time I go to PWSA to

Every time I go to PWSA to pay my bill there are at least 5 other people waiting there with shut off notices because PWSA does NOT send out correct bills. I have already experienced many problems with them submitting past due bills to Jordan. They don't communicate regarding payments that are made but when they are NOT made then you get your service shut off.
I have emailed senator Don Walko regarding this problem also to no avail.
Its pathetic and sick.
