Capital Improvement Projects
Our capital improvement projects, which include new water safety infrastructure, increase our ability to continue our dedicated service to the community.
Prince William Water is committed to providing reliable water service to its customers today and far into the future. Our ability to provide drinking water and wastewater services for homes, businesses, schools and public facilities throughout much of Prince William County requires a robust infrastructure network.
Each year, Prince William Water adopts a planning document called the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP identifies projects across a five-year horizon, with a focus on preserving and enhancing Prince William Water’s water and sewer infrastructure.
Our interactive map (linked below) identifies some CIP projects with significant community impact that are currently in the design and construction phases. The map also identifies some projects managed by others – such as the Virginia Department of Transportation, Prince William County and developers – in which Prince William Water system improvements are within the scope of their work. Please click the button below to launch the interactive map.
You can review the full CIP Document, which identifies all CIP projects in the current five-year plan, on our Long-Range Planning page.

Featherstone Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), L16 and Force Main (FM)
The Featherstone SPS is a critical asset, as it is one (1) of only two (2) pumping stations that moves wastewater to the H.L. Mooney Advanced Water Reclamation Facility (Mooney AWRF). The pumping station is an aging infrastructure and has capacity limitations, necessitating the installation of temporary additional bypass pumping at the site. As part of this project, a new SPS will be constructed to replace the existing SPS. In addition, the volume of flow passing through this pumping station and its proximity to the Potomac River mean that any failure at this station would pose a significant environmental and public health risk.

H.L. Mooney Advanced Water Reclamation Facility-Wide Improvements
Prince William Water’s award-winning H.L. Mooney Advanced Water Reclamation Facility (AWRF) in Woodbridge treats up to 24 million gallons of wastewater daily, meeting or exceeding federal and state standards. After treatment at Mooney AWRF, the reclaimed wastewater is released into Neabsco Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River.

Ridge Road Water Storage Tank Replacement Project
The T16 Ridge Road Water Storage Tank Replacement Project is part of Prince William Water’s ongoing commitment to maintain and strengthen the reliability of drinking water infrastructure across the service area. The existing T16 tank, located at 1860 Ridge Road in Haymarket, VA, is a 96,000-gallon bolted steel ground storage tank constructed in 1994. After more than 30 years of service, the tank has reached the end of its useful life and shows extensive structural degradation, coating failure, and multiple safety and regulatory deficiencies.

Route 1 Water Main Replacement Project
This project consists of the replacement of a water transmission main along Route 1 from the Garfield Booster Station (near the intersection of Route 1 and Neabsco Road) running south toward Fuller Heights Road. The purpose of this project is to increase transmission capacity from the Garfield Booster Station to southern portions of the Dumfries Pressure Zone, to improve system reliability and to meet customer demand.

Occoquan River Crossing Project
The Occoquan River Crossing Project is a collaboration between three providers of drinking water: Fairfax Water, Prince William Water, and Virginia American Water. This project consists of designing and constructing two new 42-inch parallel water mains that will cross under the Occoquan River inside a 400-foot-long tunnel and connect to existing water mains on the Prince William County side of the river. In addition, a new water main will be installed to connect Fairfax Water’s Griffith Water Treatment Plant (located in Fairfax County) with the 42-inch water mains at the Occoquan River.

- Under Construction
Spinnaker Court Sewage Pumping Station, L02 and Force Main
The existing Spinnaker Court Sewage Pumping Station (SPS), constructed in 1970 as a wet well/dry well station, will be replaced to upgrade the SPS to the latest codes and standards as well as replace the aging structures and equipment. Five hundred feet of new six-inch force main will also be constructed to replace the aging four-inch force main discharging from the SPS to a manhole at Helm Court. The new station will serve the community for many years.

Dumfries Force Main Project (SEW-106)
This project consists of replacing an existing force main or pressurized sewer pipe. The project begins at the Dumfries Sewer Pump Station on Canal Road, continues along Old Stage Coach toward Route 1, and ends at the Town of Dumfries boundary. This project aims to replace an existing force main in the Dumfries area to improve system reliability and meet customer demand.
- Project Status:
- Completed
Sudley Road Sewer Main Project
This project aims to increase sewer transmission capacity along the Sudley Road corridor and accommodate anticipated growth. The project involves replacing and installing a new 24-inch ductile iron gravity sanitary sewer. A gravity sewer line is not pressurized and uses the force of gravity to carry sewage. The new sanitary sewer line will be approximately 2,800 feet in length.
