Manassas’ Water Transmission Line Upgrades In Progress
As part of the city of Manassas Capital Improvement Program, Manassas’ water transmission main line has been slated for an upgrade, replacing the 24-inch water transmission main line with a 36-inch main line.
The current 45-year old water main line has served the city well, but now that the line is approaching its useful life, it is being replaced with a water main line to supply the higher-demand for water, especially in the summer months, as well as improve overall system performance.
“The upgraded water transmission main line will provide water to our citizens and businesses more effectively and efficiently, as well as, keep up with the growing demand for water,” said Mike Moon, city of Manassas director of Public Works and Utilities. “Manassas completed the first phase of the project in 2014 and now is working on the second and third phases of the project near Route 28 and Vint Hill Road.”
Project completion is planned for 2020 at a total cost of more than $20 million.
