Pittsburgh is upgrading its water infrastructure with a minimally invasive technique to replace lead service lines, prioritizing both efficiency and resident convenience.
Using a method known as "pipe pulling," contractors thread new copper lines from homes to street mains, requiring only small excavations instead of extensive trenching. This approach reduces disruption to landscaping, stairs, and driveways while lowering costs for the utility and ratepayers.
The innovative process supports Pittsburgh’s push for lead-free water, ensuring safer drinking water with less impact on communities, says Will Pickering of Pittsburgh Water.
