Fwd: Statement from Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority on this week’s weather outlook
by Highland Park Community Council 31 Aug '21

As remnants of Tropical Storm Ida reach Pittsburgh, residents asked to prepare for severe rains and report basement backups FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 31, 2021 Media Contact: 412-430-3898 Statement from Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority on this week's weather outlook As remnants of Topical Storm Ida reach Pittsburgh, residents asked to prepare for severe rains and report basement backups [image: Stock image of rainstorm] Pittsburgh, PA - Today, and through Wednesday, severe storms are forecasted within the Pittsburgh area. The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) is closely monitoring these storms. PWSA customers experiencing a basement sewage backup in their home or business or street flooding in their neighborhood are asked to report these events to our 24/7 Emergency Dispatch by calling (412) 255-2423, press 1. To prepare for this week’s storms, PWSA crews spent most of Monday inspecting and cleaning catch basins in flood prone areas including Ellsworth Avenue at Morewood Avenue in Shadyside, Hayson Avenue in Banksville, areas of Squirrel Hill, Dithridge Street at Webster Hall and South Neville Street in Oakland, and South Henley Drive near Riverview Park in the Northside. Heavy rainfall combined with wastewater can cause our sewer system to become overwhelmed, resulting in basement backups, flooded streets, and raw sewage spilling into our rivers. If you should experience a basement backup or flooding, please follow these tips to keep your family and loved ones safe and protect your home or business. Tips for Basement Backups If you see sewage pooling in your home, immediately call our 24/7 Emergency Dispatch (412) 255-2423, press 1 and provide the following information. - Where the sewage backup is within the home - If this is a recurring issue - If the backup occurs when water is used inside of the building - If the backup only occurs during a rain event We’ll send a crew to assess the situation, which includes determining if the problem is with the sewer main or the homes’ sewer lateral. If the sewage drains after the storm, then the backup likely occurred due to reduced capacity within the sewer system. Proper clean up after experiencing a basement backup is critical. Consider calling a professional restoration company for help. If doing it yourself, follow these steps on our website <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qCllOEEYhBjuX-asCW70nW7SWAjXasHUSkfZ4o67Exy…>, which include wearing protective clothing, boots, heavy gloves, and eyewear and proper techniques for disinfecting or disposing of items that came in contact with sewage. Tips for Street or Overland Flooding During heavy storms, water can quickly submerge streets, sidewalks, create hazardous conditions for motorists and pedestrians, and leak into buildings through cracks in foundations, doorways, and windows. If you see overland flooding occurring, please call 911 and then report to the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority by calling our 24/7 Emergency Dispatch (412) 244-2423, press 1. Several flood preparedness tips are provided on our website <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qCllOEEYhBjuX-asCW70nW7SWAjXasHUSkfZ4o67Exy…> . - Keep an emergency supply of bottled water and non-perishable food on hand in case of service outages. - If you need to evacuate, do so immediately and follow posted evacuation routes set by first responders - Never walk, swim, or drive through flooded waters – turn around don’t drown! - If your vehicle is trapped in rapidly moving water, stay inside. If water is rising in the vehicle, then seek refuge on the roof. - If trapped in a building, go to its highest level going onto the roof only if necessary The number of severe rain events has increased significantly over the last decade in Pittsburgh, with more severe rainstorms from 2010-2018 than the previous 40 years combined. With climate change and the increase in intense storms, this will only get worse. We can’t stop the rain, but we can use innovative solutions to absorb, capture, and slow the flow of rainwater before it enters our overburdened sewer system. Data Source: National Oceanic and Administration (NOAA) Severe Storm Events https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qCllOEEYhBjuX-asCW70nW7SWAjXasHUSkfZ4o67Exy…> “Our top priority is to protect our customers’ health and safety,” said Will Pickering, CEO of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority. “Heavy storms are increasingly common in Pittsburgh and it’s important that we all take the necessary precautions to keep our families, loved ones, and homes safe. Please call our Emergency Dispatch to report occurrences of flooding and basement backups.” About PWSA The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) is the largest combined water, sewer and stormwater authority in Pennsylvania, serving 300,000 consumers throughout the City of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. <http://www.pgh2o.com/> The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority | 1200 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (412) 255-2423 | www.pgh2o.com <https://www.facebook.com/PgH2O/> <https://twitter.com/pgh2o> -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
