Site work for a water / sewer project in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Overland stormwater runoff during larger precipitation events in the Stewart Avenue area contribute to downstream flooding along Saw Mill Run Blvd, flooding of nearby private properties, street flooding, and roadway damage. Catch basins and storm inlets once discharged to an open drainage channel along Stewart Avenue, however this is no longer operational as the road was recently paved and widened, eliminating the channel. Recognizing that the Saw Mill Run stream corridor is overwhelmed during relatively small rainfall events, PWSA desires to evaluate alternatives with an emphasis toward source control measures and other green strategies where peak flows from the Stewart Avenue runoff area can be possibly detained and mitigated. This project is subject to a cost share between the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority and City of Pittsburgh. This project is included in the Pittsburgh Water & Sewer Authority’s Capital Improvement Program. As of November 15, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
