They will Lew. They're like a cat. They always land on their feet.
I agree with their unwillingness to pay ALCOSAN. That's the place that
processes and cleans sanitary sewer water and waste before it goes into
the river. The fee is based on how much water you purchase, not how
much you put into the sewerage system.
For the household, wash your car, water your garden, hose off your deck
or driveway, etc., you pay ALCOSAN to "process" this water which never
goes into the sanitary sewers.
Now Pittsburgh Brewing probably buys water by the hundreds of thousands
of gallons, probably by the millions. And the majority of this water
doesn't go into the sewer, it goes out "through the front door."
But they went at it the wrong way. You don't just quit paying the bill,
you negotiate.
