WELCOME!
The Peters Creek watershed is a diverse fifty square miles in southwestern Allegheny County and
northeastern Washington County. From the heavy industry in the east where Peters Creeks enters the
Mon River, to the commercial northeast, the suburban northern communities, and the still rural and farming
south, the watershed is a veritable patchwork of landuse types. There is also a county park, a turnpike, a
landfill, and a coalmining legacy to add to the mix. Some communities are relatively stable while others are
undergoing rapid development. Peters Creek and its tributaries provide utility to them all in a
myriad of ways. We are blessed in western Pennsylvania with an abundance of fresh water
and it is our responsibility to make sure that it is used wisely.

The Peters Creek Watershed Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to the
protection, restoration and long-term stewardship of the natural resources within
and adjacent to the Peters Creek Watershed.

Use the tabs above to explore the watershed and to learn of our plans to better
understand and protect this unique resource. We hope that you will join us.
There are many ways to become involved and your participation is essential.
