Pittsburgh Stormwater Code and Ordinance Review
PWSA and Pittsburgh City Planning worked with AKRF to update city ordinances and create a unified Stormwater Management Code.
The unified Stormwater Management Code took effect in 2022 along with a new Stormwater Design Manual. Our process included technical analysis, stakeholder engagement, and expertise to review and evaluate all applicable regulatory and municipal stormwater policies, processes, and codes for consolidation and improvement options across agencies.
The project’s goal was to develop an implementable revised code; support policy and process recommendations; and provide guidance materials aligning with other important Pittsburgh initiatives regarding green stormwater infrastructure, complete streets, and resiliency.
