On Oct. 9, 2023, a contractor will begin installing a new 8-inch water main to provide potable water and fire suppression capabilities to the Town's wastewater treatment facility on Crab Creek Road. The work is anticipated to be completed by January 2024.
The new water line will connect to the New River Valley Water Authority's existing transmission line, providing a new water feed to the facility. As part of the project, two on-site groundwater wells that have served the facility since 1978 will be abandoned.
During construction, there may be large vehicles frequently entering and exiting Crab Creek Road near the work zone. Motorists are encouraged to drive with caution and be alert for construction traffic.
Questions about the project can be directed to the Christiansburg Engineering Department at 540-382-6120.
