Waterline Project
In 2001 as part of the construction design for the well #1 replacement, engineers modeled the water distribution system which indicated that there were portions of the community that lack adequate water pressure, which the Va. Department of Health considers a health risk. Additionally, the existing water system was constructed in the late 1950s with what today would be considered substandard material. In 2012 WWC and its engineers designed the replacement of 25,000 linear feet of 8 inch water main which would provide better flow and pressure to the community. Key elements of the project included a new 8” water main, lake crossing and fire hydrants in the community. The $2 million project was funded through the USDA Rural Development with a low-interest forty-year loan.
