Carnegie is an old river-town borough along Chartiers Creek southwest of the city with houses a mix of owners and renters in structures built well over a century ago. Original plumbing cracks readily during hard freezes, and the borough's low-lying, creekside streets have a long history of basement flooding when heavy rain pushes the creek toward its banks. Carnegie's century-old construction and creek-side location create dual flooding risks: original pipes fail in hard freezes and creekside properties flood when heavy rain pushes water toward foundations. Combined sewer systems back up through floor drains. From Carnegie, crews also cover nearby Whitehall, Scott Township, Mount Lebanon, Ross Township, Baldwin, Castle Shannon.
