This sewer separation project along portions of Queenston Street, Lucina Avenue, Wayside Street, and Walton Avenue in the Carrick Neighborhood will help to reduce nearby flooding and basement backups.
Progress & Status
Pittsburgh Water began construction on Phase II in late summer 2023. Crews will work in four mini-phases, stretching approximately one block at a time, installing new sewer pipe and connecting residents' sewer laterals to the new wastewater-only sewer.
- PHASE 1 (Queenston, from Fairland Street - Walton Avenue): mid August - early October
- PHASE 2 (Queenston, from Walton Avenue - Lucina Avenue): early - mid October
- PHASE 3 (Lucina, from Queenston Street - Englert Way, a paper street): mid October - mid November
- PHASE 4 (Walton Avenue, Englert Way, Wayside Street): mid November - spring 2024, with some slow-down during winter months.
Phase One: Phillips Park Stormwater Project
Phase Two: Queenston Sewer Improvements
- Separate wastewater (sanitary sewage) from stormwater in 825 feet of existing combined sewer pipes.
- Install new sanitary sewer pipes to convey only wastewater.
- Convert existing combined sewer pipes into dedicated storm sewer pipes to create more room for stormwater.
- Decommission certain existing sanitary and storm sewer pipes.
- Possible installation of sanitary and storm sewer pipes to connect buildings to respective sewers (field and engineering investigation pending).
