During this time of the year, when temperatures begin to fall, families seek alternative methods to heat their homes.
Some of those methods can produce carbon monoxide (CO) often referred to as the “silent killer” due to its odorless and colorless gas. Each year, in the U.S., hundreds of people die, and thousands become ill from CO poisoning. Heating sources that produce carbon monoxide include generators, furnaces, stoves, water heaters, and fireplaces.

The City of Fredericksburg is proud to announce that Governor Ralph Northam has included $27 million in funding in his two-year budget proposal for the City of Fredericksburg’s wastewater needs. This significant proposed investment by the Commonwealth is part of the Governor’s historic funding for the Chesapeake Bay and clean water infrastructure, as well as important water conservation and clean water accessibility initiatives. If funding successfully is maintained in the upcoming Virginia General Assembly session, the City will use the critical funds to achieve part of its required Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade.
“This is monumental news for the City, for our rate paying citizens and businesses, and for our environment. Funding at this level would significantly relieve the burden on our city tax payers, while helping to keep the City within federal and state requirements, to ensure exceptional water treatment for our residents while improving our efforts to preserve the Rappahannock Watershed,” said Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw. “Although these mandated wastewater treatment plant upgrades meet state and federal requirements, we are pleased that their implementation build on the City of Fredericksburg’s decades of commitment to support a healthy Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay,” she continued.
