Water for Community Gardens Program
Whether you’re planting vegetables or flowers, or initiating a neighborhood greening project, a community garden is a wonderful way to bring people together! We support these community projects by providing potable water donations of $500.00 per growing season to approved gardens within our water service area.
Visit our Water for Community Gardens Program page to learn more about this program and to apply. Additional information is available about rainwater harvesting and gardening resources in Pittsburgh.
