The Green Voice Podcast: Inside ALCOSAN's Clean Water Plan

On the latest episode of The Green Voice Podcast, host Grant Ervin welcomes back Shawn McWilliams, Project Engineer at the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN), for an in-depth update on one of the region's most important infrastructure initiatives. Filmed at Point Park University's Center for Media Innovation, the conversation explores recent developments in the Ohio River Tunnel (ORT) project, including design updates, newly awarded contracts, and upcoming construction milestones. McWilliams also discusses how the ORT fits into ALCOSAN's broader Clean Water Plan, a long-term effort to improve and protect water quality throughout the greater Allegheny region. As the first of three major tunnel projects—alongside the future Allegheny River Tunnel (ART) and Monongahela River Tunnel (MRT)—the ORT will play a critical role in capturing wet weather combined sewer overflows and transporting them to ALCOSAN's treatment facility. Learn how this transformative regional tunnel system and the new Wet Weather Pump Station will help create cleaner rivers and streams for generations to come.
