Virginia Water Supply Revolving Fund, Project # BIL-010C-24
Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority (FCWSA) has applied for funding from the Virginia Water Supply Revolving Fund which administers funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for its New Baltimore Water System Interconnection project. The project proposes to construct a waterline interconnection between the New Baltimore Regional Water System and the Prince Williams Water's western distribution system in order to comply with water quality regulations for iron, manganese, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This waterline interconnection will extend from the existing Prince William Water system in Gainesville, VA and construct 2.7 miles of waterline to connect with the existing New Baltimore Regional Water System in New Baltimore, VA. The water line will be installed under Broad Run using directional drill, and under Vint Hill Road via jack-and-bore. The remainder of the water line will be constructed via open cut installation methodology. A booster pumping station will be constructed near the western terminus of the project. The project design will mitigate or avoid impacts to adjacent delineated wetlands, waterways, floodplains, and architectural and archaeological historic resources. Best Management Practices would be implemented to minimize impacts, and all federal, state, and local ordinances will be followed. The total funding request for the project is $58,915,500. A description of the project and an Environmental Assessment of the project are on file at Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority, 7172 Kennedy Road Warrenton, VA 20187 and available for public review between the hours of 9 AM – 4 PM Monday through Friday.
