The Prince William County Service Authority’s H.L. Mooney Advanced Water Reclamation Facility in Woodbridge has earned the 2022 Facility Maintenance Award from the Virginia Water Environment Association for its Oil Analysis Program. The award recognizes the facility for its outstanding performance in maintaining its wastewater treatment equipment and processes.

Through its Oil Analysis Program and working with a contractor, staff at the Woodbridge facility conduct an analysis of oil used in its machinery twice a year. This analysis helps determine the ideal time between oil changes for specialized equipment, which can be longer or shorter than manufacturers’ recommendations.
