Brush Creek Treatment Plant
The Treatment Plant, located along Brush Creek, provides wastewater treatment services to all of Cranberry Township, along with portions of Pine, Marshall and New Sewickley Townships. Currently, the plant processes 3.2 millions of gallons of water per day. That’s enough water to fill the Cranberry Community Waterpark pool seven times. The plant uses physical, chemical and biological processes to remove harmful pollution. Wastewater is collected from homes, businesses and industries, and after being treated, is released into Brush Creek.

Detention Basin Maintenance
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA-DEP) has mandated that every municipality inspect all detention and retention ponds annually. Cranberry Township wants to inform the homeowners how to properly maintain your ponds. Your storm water detention and/or retention pond is an essential part of Pennsylvania’s efforts to improve the water quality of our streams, rivers, and lakes. This guidebook will serve as a tool to aid the owner in the inspection and maintenance of the stormwater management facility.

Pretreatment Program
Cranberry Township’s wastewater collection system and Brush Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant are designed to transport and treat domestic wastewater, or as it is commonly called, sewage. This is the water that flows down the drain from sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, and clothes’ washer in your home or from commercial establishments.
-
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer system is a key piece of infrastructure consisting of approximately 198.82 miles of sewer pipes and 3 lift stations. This intricate network exists to make sure that the wastewater that gets flushed every day from homes and businesses makes its way to the Brush Creek Waste Water Pollution Control Plant (BCWWPCP) where it’s properly cleaned and treated before being recycled back into Brush Creek.

Your Water Meter
Know the location so you can turn off the water supply in an emergency. The water meter is most likely inside the home, in the basement, where the water line enters your home. If your meter is located in a closet or a boxed-in area, open the doors or access panels to allow air to circulate, especially in the winter.
