South Oakland residents meet with PWSA about lead in water
On January 9th, OPDC hosted a community meeting to discuss concerns about water quality in South Oakland. We convened the meeting after hearing from some neighbors that their water had elevated lead levels. The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) and Women for a Healthy Environment (WHE) both attended to speak with concerned residents about lead contamination sources and the precautions that can be taken to remedy them. See the full meeting minutes here.

Oakland Green Team update
When OPDC facilitated the Oakland 2025 community planning process in 2011, community members spoke loud and clear about prioritizing neighborhood greening and sustainability. Toward that end, we created the structure for the Oakland Green Team, and have provided staff capacity for the team ever since. Now, in response to team member feedback, we’re reorganizing to make community engagement easier and more effective.
