West View Water Authority

West View Water Authority (WVWA) was pleased to welcome Senator Devlin Robinson this week to visit and tour of our system operations. We had the opportunity to tour our Neville Island Water Treatment Plant.

These visits are an important part of WVWA’s ongoing efforts to work collaboratively with our elected officials to help showcase the critical work being performed every single day by our team. From maintaining and upgrading aging infrastructure to navigating operational and regulatory challenges, it is important that policymakers see firsthand what it takes to reliably deliver safe, high-quality drinking water to our communities.

Most importantly, the visit highlighted the tremendous responsibility of producing and delivering millions of gallons of water each day to the residents, businesses, and communities we proudly serve throughout the region.

We appreciate Senator Robinson taking the time to visit with our staff, learn more about our operations, and continue the conversation surrounding infrastructure investment, public utilities, and the future of water service in Western Pennsylvania.

🔵 Beginning of the Week Update | West View Water Authority

This week, West View Water Authority is beginning our annual hydrant flushing program, starting today, Monday, April 20, across our service area.

This routine maintenance is a critical part of maintaining a safe and reliable water system. Hydrant flushing helps improve water circulation, remove sediment from water mains, maintain water quality, and reduce the potential for disinfection byproducts such as total trihalomethanes (THMs).

While it may look like a large amount of water being released, this process plays an important role in ensuring proper system performance, water clarity, and fire protection capabilities.

⚠️ What Customers Should Expect

As crews begin flushing in your area, you may notice:

Temporary water discoloration
Slightly lower water pressure

This is normal and not harmful. If you experience discoloration, simply run cold water until it clears.
