The chart below highlights the categories that make up our Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is a strategic planning and budget document that describes the planning and construction projects we will advance over a five-year period. Most of the projects pertain to the improvements we are making to our water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. It also includes a small category for other miscellaneous projects that include vehicle and fleet management, property acquisition as well as facility and technology upgrades. 

As of October 7th, we have spent $79,934,373 on infrastructure improvements throughout the year. The projects in each category reflect the variety of work we are doing throughout Pittsburgh. Many of the projects within our CIP will help to improve safety and operational reliability and ensure that we are meeting or exceeding all water quality and regulatory requirements.

Some of the projects where the most amount of spending occurred in October include improvements to the Herron Hill Reservoir, sewer system improvements within the 31st Ward, replacing catch basins and storm inlets, and ongoing work to improve our water distribution and treatment systems.
