DUMFRIES — Water crews mopped up a mess in Dumfries.
Workers fixed a burst 12-inch water main Wednesday evening that snarled traffic in Virginia’s oldest, continuously chartered town. The pipe, located between Tripoli Boulevard and Old Stage Coach Road, ruptured about 1:30 p.m. Crews had the water shut off about 15 minutes later, but the damage to the afternoon commute had been done.

The expansion also includes more storage space and room for the introduction of an advanced treatment option: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
