MILLVALE, Pa. -- Millvale Borough Council President James Porter announced a partnership with the city of Pittsburgh inside Millvale council chambers on Wednesday.

The two municipalities will share the services of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority as partners.

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl was in Millvale when the announcement was made.

"This is an historic moment for PWSA," said Mayor Ravenstahl, "and another tremendous opportunity for the city to partner with one of our surrounding municipalities. Now more than ever, with increasing infrastructure costs, it is important that we seek efficiencies and share services to reduce the cost of government."
