The Bruecken Pump Station was built in 1931. It pumps water from its location along the Allegheny River to the open Highland I Reservoir or the Highland II Reservoir. From there, water is distributed to customers served by these portions of our system.

As of December 10, PWSA has spent $113,425,910 on infrastructure improvements in 2020. While surface restoration is where we continue to see the most amount of capital spending, there are other areas within our capital program where spending is increasing.

This report highlights the design of the Bruecken Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (associated with the Pumping and Storage category). 

The rehabilitation of the Bruecken Pump Station is part of a series of critical water infrastructure projects that will renew key components of our water production and distribution systems. The design for this facility, as well as the design for the Aspinwall Pump Station and the Highland Pump Station, are underway. These projects will modernize our water infrastructure, improve service reliability, and ensure operational efficiencies throughout our water distribution system. Rehabilitating these pump stations are a few of the projects that will lead to the replacement of the century-old chlorination facility known as the Clearwell.
