Our Water Workshop is back: October 29, 2025, 6pm-7pm!

ABOUT THIS EVENT: 

Pittsburgh Water and the Penn State Master Watershed Stewards and Master Gardeners are teaming up for an in-depth presentation to our community about stormwater and sewer management in our city, and actions you can take for better manage stormwater on your property and improve the health of our local waterways!

During the workshop, volunteers from Penn State’s Master Gardeners and Watershed Steward programs will discuss the stormwater interventions you can install at home. Solutions like rain barrels, rain gardens, and use of native plants are effective ways to protect your property and neighborhood from rain and flooding. Their presentation will include education about our local watershed, mindful gardening techniques, infiltration, and runoff.

Additionally, representatives from Pittsburgh Water will discuss the sewer and stormwater system, actions we've taken to improve stormwater management in the area, as well as solutions that can help to lower your stormwater fee. You’ll also learn more about our one-time rain barrel credit available to residential customers.
