Pittsburgh Water, together with community partners, invites you to a two-part engagement series about an important project near the covered Highland Reservoir. This work will stabilize the hillside and create opportunities to influence sections of landscaping in this beloved park. Your ideas will help guide the design!

About the Project

The state now considers Highland Park’s reservoirs as dams, which means new safety measures are required. Our current focus is on the covered Highland Reservoir at the intersection of One Wild Place, Bunker Hill, and Mellon Terrace. The design will feature modern engineering solutions and new landscaping to reinforce the hillside. Join us for two community sessions to learn about safety improvements and help shape new landscaping in Highland Park!

Join us to help design a safer, greener hillside!

Community Design Workshop — Share your ideas for landscaping

Your voice matters! Help shape the landscaping plan for the Highland Reservoir Hillside Safety Project. Although there are restrictions and guidelines to follow, the area beyond the slope is an area that the community can influence. This community workshop is an opportunity to co-create landscaping within the footprint of the covered Highland Reservoir.
