The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) was awarded a $9.7 million grant and $3.7 million in low-interest loans from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) for the 2023 Neighborhood Lead Service Line Replacement Project. This funding will replace approximately 1,000 lead service lines at priority locations within its service area.

"With continued support from the PENNVEST Board, state leaders, and the City of Pittsburgh, we are removing lead service lines from our drinking water system at a rapid pace," said PWSA Chief Executive Officer, Will Pickering. "Our partnership with PENNVEST has been key to PWSA's success in renewing our water system while minimizing costs to ratepayers."
