Virginia American Water today announced the start of water main replacement on Castle Court in Dale City to enhance water quality and improve service reliability. The cost of the water system improvements is approximately $90,000.
Beginning the week of April 2, Virginia American Water will replace approximately 500 feet of aging two-inch cast iron water main with six-inch double-cement-lined pipe on Castle Court, located in the Cloverdale Community. The company is replacing pipe that dates back to 1967 and has a history of leaks. These improvements are part of Virginia American Water’s long-term strategy of ongoing capital investment in its water systems.
Crews will work weekdays between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The estimated duration of the project is four weeks. During the project, some residents of Castle Court might experience limited inconvenience as the construction crews work near their driveway entrances. Crews will work as quickly as possible to shorten the length of any temporary inconveniences.
