Love your watershed
Construction Junction has recently completed a redesign of its entire facility that will include an aggressive storm water management strategy. Our building site sheds 4 million gallons of storm water annually and we are committing to a plan that will focus on reducing runoff through an increase in green space and reuse of storm water for facility uses (8% of the total).
The significant quantity of water that we cannot reuse will have nearly 100% of the solid pollutants removed, held on site and slowly released into the storm water system when the threat of combined sewer overflow has been minimized.
This is significant as Construction Junction sits at the top of the nine mile run watershed! As you can, see we love our watershed and we hope you do too. If you'd like to love your watershed even more attend 'Love Your Watershed Day'. Click on the graphic below for detail and more information.

Guests will embark on a cruise of Pittsburgh's three rivers on the RiverQuest Explorer, one of the world's first "green" vessels. Palate Partners will provide six wine tasting offerings to guests while sailing. As the Explorer sails, a portion of guests' river journey will include narration by Davitt Woodwell, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council.
Tickets are $75.00. $40 of each ticket is a tax deductible donation to the Allegheny County Bar Foundation. For a ticket form, click here. You may also purchase tickets online by clicking here.
