PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - ALCOSAN will be raising its rates every year until 2026.

Customers will see their rates go up by 7% each year, meaning the average home will pay $36 more each year to cover sewage costs.

ALCOSAN says the extra money is needed for its big clean water plan projects.

It will be paying $2 billion over the next several years to remove about 7 billion gallons of sewage overflow from rivers and streams in the region.
