Pennsylvania American Water announced that $7.5 million in water line upgrades will start this summer in Pittsburgh.
Improvement projects will replace about 3.4 miles of water main in the city’s 16th, 18th, 29th and 32 wards, officials say. The projects aim to improve reliability and water quality for customers, as well as increase water flow for household use and firefighting.
“Providing reliable service to our customers means making continuous investments in our infrastructure,” said Dave Rowland, senior manager of operations for Pennsylvania American Water. “We prioritize projects based on a number of criteria, including the need for larger mains to handle system demands, age of existing pipe and history of main breaks or service interruptions.”
