ALCOSAN celebrates 80th anniversary

The Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) commemorated its 80th anniversary on Friday with a special event featuring the dedication of the authority’s new outfall. 

Regional leaders, municipal partners and community stakeholders gathered at ALCOSAN’s treatment plant along the Ohio River to reflect on eight decades of wastewater treatment and improving water quality throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Guests heard remarks by Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor; Emily Kinkead, ALCOSAN board chair representative; ALCOSAN Executive Director Arletta Scott Williams; Douglas Jackson, deputy executive director and operations and maintenance director; and Michelle Buys, environmental compliance director. 

In 1946, the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority was created under Pennsylvania’s Municipal Authorities Act to design, construct and operate an interceptor system and treatment plant for residential, commercial and industrial wastewater. 

Since beginning operations that year, ALCOSAN has served as the wastewater treatment provider for 83 Allegheny County communities, helping protect the Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela rivers while supporting economic growth and regional environmental stewardship.
