This work will ensure the safety and security of drinking water for our customers. Work began on the southern portion of the reservoir. Our contractor has started the process of removing the existing liner and cover, installing a new liner, cover, and other materials like rainwater removal pumps, then bringing the southern portion of the reservoir back into service. Once this work is complete, they will move onto the northern portion of the reservoir and complete the same work. We expect this project to be complete in January of 2020.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has issued a drought watch that affects Allegheny County. At this time, residents and businesses may take voluntary actions to conserve water by cutting down on nonessential use. For more information, please visit: dep.pa.gov/Drought.
