What we’re working on

The Piedmont Avenue Phase 1 stormwater project was approved by the Stormwater Board to be advanced and completed over the next several months. This project involves the installation of inlets, detention facilities, hundreds of linear feet of corrugated pipe, and a basin outfall structure. This project is designed to address the flooding in the Piedmont Avenue watershed during storm events. The Authority was able to obtain $125,000 through the Allegheny County gaming economic development funds and $500,000 through the state Local Share Account (also statewide gaming funds). Both grants were strongly supported by state Senator Wayne Fontana through the Commonwealth Financing Authority. Thank you Senator Fontana!

“Just wanted you to know how appreciative I’ve been of your updates throughout this project. Also, I want to comment on how professional the men have been who were working on Kelton and Texas Avenue. They have been very protective of children coming and going from school and also have been careful about our properties. I’m looking forward to being able to put our cars in our garage without them being flooded.”

“Thank you, Dormont Stormwater Committee, for living up to your promise to work on this project for the residents of the 1200 block of Kelton Avenue. They have been plagued for decades with stormwater surges that destroyed and totaled cars, flooded garages, basements, lost lawnmowers and other items in their homes, all because of an incorrectly installed sewer system when the borough was established. You are the first group who has taken responsibility for this need, and you are to be commended for all you are doing.”
