Hatch Provides Services to Pittsburgh Water Authority

Hatch is providing construction management services for the transformative Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority system project (PWSA). The project scope includes eliminating and replacing lead service lines and installing new water lines throughout PWSA’s drinking water service area. The construction team is also replacing inoperable valves within this area to optimize operational efficiency while minimizing disruptions for customers. The goal is to replace aging infrastructure while maintaining a safe work environment for all.

The project team received recognition for the achievements of the PWSA system, including acknowledgment from US vice president, Kamala Harris, for its clean water initiatives and lead service line replacements.

In commenting about the success of this project at the award ceremony, Vice President Harris said no American, regardless of income, should have to drink from lead pipes, and praised Pittsburgh’s success in replacing the water service lines, saying, “It is an infrastructure matter, but it is also a public health matter.”
