On February 2nd, our Director of Engineering, Barry King, shared our upcoming contracting opportunities with SPEO members at their February Opportunities Forum. SPEO’s mission includes mentoring and hosting networking events for local minority and women-owned businesses. According to the SPEO website, “The Opportunities Forum is an annual event where a variety of agencies from across the region share information with our members about how to do business with your organization and potential upcoming projects for 2021 and beyond.” 

Director King detailed 33 of our 2021 water, sewer, and stormwater capital projects. A large portion of the upcoming work is part of PWSA’s Water Reliability Plan. The Plan focuses on a series of once-in-a-generation projects to renew key components of our water production and distribution systems. It will ensure that critical water infrastructure such as the Aspinwall and Bruecken Pump Stations, Highland Reservoirs, and large supply mains will provide reliable, quality water service. He also spoke about the projects to upgrade and modernize the water distribution system to remove lead, prevent leaks, and minimize breaks. 

PWSA thanks SPEO for inviting us to participate in this invaluable event each year.
