Aspinwall is a borough on the Allegheny River in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, and is part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. It is essentially a residential place.
In the mid-1880s, the area which is now Aspinwall was primarily owned by the descendants of James Ross, but as the steel industry was thriving in Pittsburgh, Henry Warner, superintendent of the Allegheny County Workhouse, had the idea of creating a residential community along the bank of a river.
Warner traveled to New York to discuss the idea with Annie Aspinwall. He purchased 155 acres of land from her and formed the Aspinwall Land Company in 1890. Pittsburghers, mostly from the upper-middle class, purchased lots from the 60 available home sites. By 1890, the town had 400 residents, most of whom were young couples with children. Aspinwall was officially incorporated as a borough on December 28, 1892.

Results of the Lead Testing in Aspinwall Borough
Aspinwall Borough purchases its water from PWSA. While Aspinwall recently tested the water supplies in 12 Borough homes for lead and copper, none of these sites were included in the data released by the PWSA.
The Borough has just gained access to results from the testing that was done in August, and the values are all under the actionable levels of 15 ppb for lead. Note that 12 of the 12 tested homes had no detectable levels of lead.
Aspinwall Borough will continue to strive to provide its residents with clean, safe drinking water now and into the future. If you would like to see the Borough's results, go to http://www.drinkingwater.state.pa.us/dwrs/HTM/SelectionCriteria.html ; our ID number is 5020003.
