ALCOSAN Partnership Agreement
Col. Adam Czekanski, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, talks about the importance of partnering with Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN), prior to signing a Public Partnership Agreement with them in Pittsburgh, Jan. 11, 2023. The two organizations signed an agreement to authorize funding for construction of a grit chamber along Spring Garden Run, a neighborhood located in the northern area of Pittsburgh. The grit chamber construction is estimated to cost approximately $4.3 million and expected to finish by the end of 2024. Once implemented, the chamber will remove 200,000 pounds of grit and sediment annually from the sewer system that causes long-term damage to treatment facilities.
