In this new section of our website, you’ll find an overview of our water distribution system, the history of sewers in Pittsburgh, and the steps we’re taking to address stormwater. It also provides an overview of our treatment process, an interactive map of our service area, as well as educational resources and videos that explain the water treatment process.
Using our interactive area map
We provide water services to the majority of Pittsburgh, but not all neighborhoods. We also provide water service to some nearby communities and there are some Pittsburgh neighborhoods that only receive our sewer services.
Use our online map (pictured above) to double check the type of services we provide to you.
It’s easy to use. Go to Your Water and click on Our Service Area. Scroll to the interactive map and enter your address in its top right corner. The map will zoom to the location you entered. If it’s shaded in blue, then we provide your water and sewer services. If it’s not shaded, then we provide only your sewer service and your drinking water service comes from another provider, such as Pennsylvania American Water.
Stormwater Solutions at Home
With increasing rain and stormwater management becoming a growing challenge in Pittsburgh, everyone can help to manage excess water. The Your Water section provides some helpful stormwater tips that you can try at home. It includes everyday practices that will help keep excess rainwater and pollutants out of our combined sewer system, ideas to incorporate green infrastructure in your home or neighborhood, flood protection tips, and links to other stormwater
resources (pictured right).
This section provides an overview of all the of information there is to share about the water services we provide to Pittsburgh residents, but there are many opportunities for it to expand and grow. If you have an idea about what you would like to see on the website, please complete our website feedback form at pgh2o.com/websitefeedback to let us know.
