Wilkinsburg is a historic streetcar borough bordering Pittsburgh's east end with dense housing where properties split between longtime owners and renters. Some properties show significant deferred maintenance. Aging galvanized and cast-iron plumbing here cracks easily during a hard winter freeze, and older combined sewer lines under these blocks are prone to backing up through basement floor drains during a heavy storm. Wilkinsburg's age and property condition create high backup vulnerability. Aging galvanized and cast-iron plumbing fails regularly during freeze events, and combined sewer systems back up during heavy storms. The historic infrastructure makes backups predictable during winter and spring. From Wilkinsburg, crews also cover nearby Regent Square, Mount Washington, Beechview, Swissvale, Edgewood, Point Breeze. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
