Throughout the summer our Stormwater and PGH2O Cares teams have been in the community to talk about stormwater issues and customer assistance programs.

From community meetings to awareness campaigns and project events – we are doing meaningful work throughout Pittsburgh to highlight many aspects of the services we provide. 

Throughout the summer our Stormwater and PGH2O Cares teams have been in the community to talk about two important topics impacting customers: stormwater issues and customer assistance programs. We’ve been to community events and meetings from Homewood to Carrick and many neighborhoods in between. 

We designated August as Sewer Awareness Month in Pittsburgh, which kicked-off with a proclamation from Mayor William Peduto. This month-long campaign highlighted the importance of our sewers and the things we all can do to keep them flowing. 

On August 25th, we held a ground breaking to recognize the start of construction on the Thomas and McPherson Stormwater project. This project in North Point Breeze features solutions that will capture, hold, and slowly release stormwater into the combined sewer system.
