Stafford County has been awarded $428,924 in CARES Act funds to assist all eligible utility customers of Stafford County with unpaid water/sewer bills.
Safety permeates every aspect of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE). It guides all actions and decisions by staff, train crews, maintenance workers, and the Operations Board. For its holistic approach to safety, VRE is the 2020 recipient of the Virginia Transit Association’s (VTA) Exceptional Safety Award.
“Safety is foremost in VRE’s mission statement,” said VRE Operations Board Chairman Gary Skinner. “If VRE service isn’t safe, being cost-effective, accessible, reliable, convenient and comfortable doesn’t matter. Safety is more than a philosophy at VRE. It is a culture.”
Prince William County Service Authority customers who have unpaid water bills from March 1, 2020, through December 30, 2020, and who have experienced a loss of income due to the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic may be eligible to receive financial assistance funded by the COVID-19 Municipal Utility Relief Program.
Customers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, but no later than January 21, 2021, at 5 p.m.
