PWSA Touts Lead Line Milestone; Residents Lack Program Data | The Locally Times

A Jan. 8 press release announced the 14,000th replacement, but public records do not specify the program's total cost, timeline, or a resident tracking tool.

## PWSA Announces 14,000th Lead Line Replacement The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) announced it replaced its 14,000th lead service line in a press release dated January 8, 2026. ## Public Records Lack Key Program Data While the PWSA publicized the 14,000-line benchmark, its public records do not provide comprehensive data on the lead line replacement program. Records do not specify the total number of lead service lines that still require replacement, a projected timeline for the program's completion, or its total budget and funding sources. The authority has also not outlined the criteria used to prioritize which lines are replaced. Furthermore, no public-facing mechanism, such as an online map or search portal, is detailed that would allow residents to check their property’s replacement status. ## Next Opportunities for Public Input The PWSA has scheduled two public events for late February. A board meeting is set for 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Friday, February 27, 2026, though its posted agenda is not yet detailed. The following day, Saturday, February 28, the authority will host a Community Design Workshop from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The public agendas for these meetings do not list the lead line program as a topic, but the events represent the next scheduled opportunities for residents to seek more information.
