PWSA Seeks Input on Reservoir Safety Project | The Locally Times
Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority hosts a public workshop for the Highland Reservoir Hillside Safety Project, though public records do not detail specific safety concerns or project costs.
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) is hosting a Community Design Workshop for the Highland Reservoir Hillside Safety Project on Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The public announcement from the PWSA does not specify the particular safety concerns necessitating this project, nor does it detail the estimated budget or overall timeline. A PWSA Board Meeting took place the day prior, on Friday, February 27, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Public records do not include the agenda or minutes for this meeting, leaving unknown any discussions or decisions related to the reservoir project or its funding. This absence means residents are asked to provide input without full knowledge of the project's foundational details or its financial scope. ## Project Details Undisclosed The available public information does not include engineering reports or hazard assessments that would clarify the specific issues the Highland Reservoir project aims to address. The financial scope, estimated timeline, and potential contractors for the project also remain undisclosed. This lack of granular detail comes as public entities in Hopewell Township, beginning March 1, 2026, must publish legal notices on their websites instead of in newspapers. This shift in public notice dissemination could impact how widely information about such projects reaches residents. PWSA previously announced the replacement of its 14,000th lead service line on January 8, 2026, highlighting ongoing infrastructure work. Residents attending the workshop may seek clarification on the project's necessity, its full scope, and its financial implications for ratepayers. Locally Times will continue to monitor for the release of detailed project information and board meeting minutes, which could provide further insight into the Highland Reservoir Hillside Safety Project.
