At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Twenty-five years later, at that same moment, we pause to remember everyone who lost their lives at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

We honor the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, dispatchers, military personnel and other first responders who answered the call at all three sites—running toward danger to help people they had never met.

Among those who responded were members of Pennsylvania Task Force 1, as well as southwestern Pennsylvania responders who would help form today’s Region 13 Emergency Management Task Force. Region 13 now encompasses communities throughout West View Water Authority’s service territory and continues that legacy of regional preparedness and cooperation.

We also recognize the responders who survived but continue to live with the physical and emotional effects of their service.

Their courage, sacrifice and commitment to others will never be forgotten.

Customers near the flushing areas may temporarily experience discolored water or changes in water pressure. This is a normal result of the flushing process.

If discoloration occurs, avoid doing laundry and run cold water—preferably from the lowest-level faucet in your home—for several minutes until it runs clear.

Thank you for your patience while our crews perform this essential system maintenance.
