Ensures wastewater from commercial and industrial facilities is properly treated before entering the public sewer system to protect infrastructure and treatment operations.
The Washington-East Washington Joint Authority (WEWJA) has been hard at work in the first quarter of 2026 improving the customer experience while continuing to invest in the infrastructure that keeps our regional sewer system running safely and reliably.
Sewer service plays a critical role in protecting public health, supporting local communities and safeguarding nearby waterways. At WEWJA, the rates customers pay are used exclusively to operate, maintain and improve the regional wastewater system.
Spring and early summer bring new plant growth, which means tree roots naturally search for moisture and can find their way into small cracks in sewer pipes.
Robert Herring serves as Executive Director of the Washington-East Washington Joint Authority, where he oversees operations, capital planning, regulatory compliance and long term infrastructure management.
WEWJA is beginning work on the Chartiers Interceptor Rehabilitation Project, an important effort to strengthen one of the most critical pipelines in the regional sewer system.
