In December 2022, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved a revised Comprehensive Plan that removed public sewer restrictions in the Rural Area. Prince William Water conducted a Master Plan Addendum, which indicated that demands required by the updated Comprehensive Plan, including the Digital Gateway, may require additional water supply capacity to be purchased in the future. As noted, Prince William Water has the ability to purchase additional capacity from Fairfax Water when needed.  

However, the absence of water and sewer infrastructure in any given part of Prince William County is not an impediment to development under Prince William Water’s “growth pays for growth” policy, which requires that infrastructure extensions be designed, constructed and paid for by development applicants to serve their development.
