An installation supervisor cuts through a pipe to finalize the waste-water treatment plant installation for a project partially funded under the Water Resource Development Act of 1936, in Amsterdam, Ohio, April 28, 2021. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District oversees projects like this one, which helps distressed communities receive federal assistance under WRDA. The district has seen a growth in water and sewage infrastructure demand and approved nine new water projects in Allegheny County and Northern West Virginia in the last three years under Section 219. Eastern Ohio is covered by Section 594 funds. The town of Amsterdam received 8.5 miles of sewer pipes and a new waste treatment plant, which they never had before.

2 PITTSBURGH Nobody likes the idea of pipes bursting in their own home. Water gushing down the walls from the upstairs bathroom. The ceiling paint curling and turning dark. The floors warping from moisture even days after the water is gone.
Imagine those pipes bursting in your home every year. Now, imagine pipes bursting at a larger scale, happening across an entire town.
Every single year.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District has seen an increasing number of projects to help small and distressed communities meet their water-related infrastructure challenges.
The district approved nine new water infrastructure projects in the last three years, funded under the Water Resource Development Act of 1936, or WRDA Section 219, program which offers cost-sharing aid to towns in Allegheny County and Northern West Virginia.
