Project Scope:
WSSC Water contractor, Allen Meyers, completed installation of 2.5 miles of new 48-inch raw water pipeline, running from the Rocky Gorge Raw Pumping Station on Brooklyn Bridge Road to the Patuxent Water Filtration Plant, located on Sandy Spring Road. This spring WSSC Water paving contractor, E & R Services Inc., will complete final paving and striping along Bond Mill Road.
Project Purpose
This new pipeline increases the Patuxent Water Filtration Plant’s production up to 40 million gallons per day to meet the drinking water needs of Prince George’s and Montgomery County residents while ensuring infrastructure resiliency and redundancy. This increase in production was critical for WSSC Water to maintain the supply and pressure for our 1.9 million customers during early January’s essential-water-use-only request.
Community Collaboration
WSSC Water is working closely with residents, the West Laurel Civic Association, local elected officials, Prince George’s County Department of Public Works & Transportation, and Department of Permitting, Inspections & Enforcement, to bring this project to a successful completion.
