Title

Community Grant for Prince George, VA – Water Transmission Main Appomattox River Crossing

Document Number

N2025168

Document Type

EA/FONSI

Project Description

This proposed project will replace 2,200 linear feet of existing 16-inch waterline with 1,300 linear feet of new 24-inch waterline that will be directionally drilled under the Appomattox River (roughly 40 feet below grade for 411 linear feet). A high-density polyethylene or fusible polyvinyl chloride water main will be used. Connection to in-place water main infrastructure is proposed to be installed via open cut trench construction and is limited to approximately 30 feet of ductile iron pipe installed on either end of the bridge. The portion of this project that will be constructed using traditional open-cut trenching is located within the limits of existing road rights-of-way which have been previously disturbed by the construction and maintenance of the roads. By replacing the existing waterline with a new waterline under the Appomattox River, both traffic and water service disruptions will be minimized. Also, by increasing the size of the waterline from 16 to 24 inches in diameter, additional capacity will be provided for continued growth and economic development in the county.
