- This project is one of several stormwater improvement projects in Saw Mill Run. It focuses on restoring two sites within the stream in the Overbrook Neighborhood.
- We are building cost-effective and efficient stormwater solutions in this area of North Point Breeze to capture, hold, and slowly release stormwater runoff.
- This $2.9 million project, taking place in the Lincoln Place neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh, lined approximately 5 miles of aging sewers, repair broken sewers, relocate storm drains, and separate combined storm and sanitary sewers where needed. Work was completed at numerous locations throughout the neighborhood. Lining and repairing these sewers will extend the life of the sewer system and ensure better service to our customers.
- Sewer lining is a cost-effective, non-invasive procedure that lines the inside of aging sewer mains to prolong their life an ensure reliable sewer service for those connected to the main.
- We partnered with the City of Pittsburgh on improvements to Wightman Park within Squirrel Hill to create a safer, cleaner, greener, and more accessible park with better stormwater management.
- We are partnering with the City of Pittsburgh to manage stormwater at Volunteers Field, a city park located in the Carrick neighborhood, by renovating its ballfields with regrading and better drainage.
- To maintain the open Highland I Reservoir as a public amenity, we are constructing several projects to meet stricter state water quality regulations and security improvements. These projects will improve the security of our drinking water.
- In April 2019, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority began adding orthophosphate to reduce lead levels in drinking water. Orthophosphate is a food-grade additive that forms a protective barrier between lead pipes and the water flowing through them. Two of the four distribution points for orthophosphate are in Highland Park.
- This project will build a new transmission water line, connecting the Water Treatment Plant and the Lanpher Reservoir, located in Shaler Township. The new line will create a backup water feed for the existing Lanpher Rising Main, which is nearly 100 years old. This multi-million dollar, two-year project will ensure reliable water service for one-third of Pittsburgh’s population who live and work in the Northside.
- This project in the Overbrook neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh, will line several miles of aging sewers, repair broken sewers, relocate storm drains, and separate combined storm and sanitary sewers where needed. Work will be completed at numerous locations throughout the neighborhood and residents will be notified when work may impact them. Lining and repairing these sewers will extend the life of the sewer system and ensure better service to our customers.
- This project at the intersection of Centre and Herron avenues directs runoff from surrounding streets into a cascading 585 foot-long bioswale, where it is absorbed by plants or soaks into the ground. Additional stormwater flows into underground storage tanks and is slowly released into the sewer system.
- This stormwater project demonstrates the use of green stormwater solutions and beautified two vacant lots in the Garfield Neighborhood. We converted the lots into a stormwater park with rain gardens, bioretention, and trees.
- Volunteers Field is a city park located in the Carrick neighborhood. The location of the park makes it an effective site to manage stormwater using green stormwater infrastructure solutions.
- In early December 2019 we began the construction of two green infrastructure projects that will help to manage stormwater within Four Mile Run. These engineered drainage channels, are being built in Schenley Park along Overlook Drive and next to the Bridle Trail.
- Riverview Park is a city park located in the Perry North neighborhood. This project will use green stormwater infrastructure and tree plantings in the park to capture rainwater runoff.
- The Maryland Avenue Stormwater Improvement Project uses cost-effective green stormwater solutions in Shadyside to reduce runoff entering the combined sewer system. These stormwater solutions are located within the public right of way (public streets and sidewalks).
- This project will help to capture, store, and encourage infiltration of stormwater runoff in South Side Park.
- This project, in the Greenfield and Squirrel Hill South neighborhoods of the City of Pittsburgh, will replace portions of water mains on several streets, providing more reliable water service to our customers.
- The stormwater improvement project in Polish Hill reduces the risks of uncontrolled runoff by constructing new curb lines, adding additional stormwater inlets, and installing five bioretention features with underground storage.
- We collaborated on two UpstreamPgh (formerly Nine Mile Run Watershed Association) stormwater management projects in the East Hills Neighborhood. At Oakwood and Batavia Streets, runoff is redirected into roadside ditches. At Crescent Elementary School, runoff from the street and the school is redirected into rain gardens.
