Named for its three major components (the Aspinwall Pump Station, Bruecken Pump Station, and the Clearwell Bypass), this is our largest construction project in over a century and the largest single project of our Water Reliability Plan.
Progress & Status
Pittsburgh Water has officially launched the construction phase of the $193 million ABC Project, a major part of our Water Reliability Plan to modernize and protect Pittsburgh’s drinking water system for generations to come.
The ABC Project brings together three major upgrades to Pittsburgh’s water system: a major overhaul of the Aspinwall Pump Station including preservation of the building’s historic façade and architectural features; building a new pump station to replace the existing Bruecken Pump Station; and the installation of a new pipeline to bypass the Clearwell at the Water Treatment Plant. Together, these efforts will restore vital pumping power and boost the reliability of water distribution for the entire city.
