PWSA customers say bills are way too high.
He wants to know what’s going on with the water bills on his street, including his daughter’s, which went up $80 this month, his neighbor’s, which jumped more than $60 and the bill at the bar he used to own that nearly doubled.
Anesin told Channel 11 their usage hasn’t changed.
“July and August are the two slowest months of the year over there, and it just don’t seem right," Anesin said.
For more than a year now, 11 Investigates has been reporting on issues plaguing the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, including billing issues.
He and his other neighbors worry the sky-high bills stem from a nearby water leak that wasn’t fixed for several months and crews flushing hydrants on their street around the PWSA’s boil water advisory.
Even though neighbors think the hydrant flushing has something to do with their bill increases, when Channel 11 checked with the PWSA, they said that’s not the case."
11 Investigates later heard from the PWSA about the review of those bills.
Last week, just up Route 28 in Millvale, 11 Investigates dug into problems PWSA is having there.
Millvale residents had to boil their water an extra five days because of inconsistent chlorine tests after problems with a reservoir affected much of the North Side and Reserve Township.

Hurricane Irma: North Brevard customers wait for water.
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Cocoa water customers continue to deal with a boil water warning, as the utility company tries to restore water to all 82,000 customers.
The National Guard also distributed water in other locations in the county, and will continue to do so until supplies run out.
Read: Here’s where to get free bottled water Wednesday in Central Florida As the water is distributed, Cocoa Utilities is working overtime to restore both water and pressure to all of its customers.
Pressures are also fluctuating around Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach.
"We kind of started on one side of the system and as we were able to get pressure, we kind of moved to the next zone," Cocoa Utilities Director Jack Walsh said.
Cocoa Utilities said water conservation among restored customers will help them establish better pressure for customers just coming back online.
If the water pressure gets too low, it could hold up the entire process of getting the water back on, Walsh said.
"If the pressures happen to go or dip near the 20 psi limit, it could jeopardize the whole system and we start the whole process over again of testing," he said.
If they don’t, it may prompt a boil-water advisory.
