Current Projects

This project will extend water service about two miles from the existing water main on Robinette Valley Road.  Funding is provided by the PSA, LENOWISCO Planning District, and Coalfields Water Development Fund.  Our crew started construction in February 2026 with completion expected by the end of 2026.

These projects received $15.8 million in funding from USDA Rural Development in 2017 and an additional $11.7 million from Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in 2023.  They will serve (1) areas in Yuma adjacent to the existing Yuma sewer that were not served by the Yuma Phase 1 Sewer Project and west of Yuma Elementary and (2) areas along US 58 from Nottingham to the center of the Hiltons community including Hiltons Elementary School.  We awarded contracts for Hiltons Phase 1 and Yuma Phase 2 and issued the Notices to Proceed in October 2025. Construction of Hiltons Phase 1 started in November 2025. Construction of Yuma Phase 2 is expected to start in spring of 2026.  To view the project area maps for these first two phases, please click on the links below:

The goal of this project is to determine which sources of water among several alternatives that are available to supply our water systems would be the most economical based on a 50 year outlook.  This study is funded by a $45,000 grant through LENOWISCO Planning District Commission.  The final report is expected to be ready in spring of 2026.

This $119,000 project received funding from Virginia Department of Health and will continue work toward our goal of reducing water loss in Weber City by replacing old and deteriorating galvanized water pipes.  We completed Phase 1 in 2020.  Our crew finished construction on Phase 2 in spring 2025.  Our paving contractor finished repairs to pavement damaged by the project in January 2026.  The project is completed.

This project includes multiple upgrades to our water plants and distribution systems.  Notable improvements are incorporating an existing high-yield well at Natural Tunnel State Park into our water supply grid and constructing a new water storage tank at Goode Hollow.  The project was funded by grant and loan totaling $1.3 million from Virginia Department of Health.  Pending parity review/approval by USDA and bond closing, we will be advertising for contractor bids by summer 2026 and expect construction to begin on the NTSP well and Goode Hollow Water Tank in fall 2026. 

This project received $3.3 million in funding from the USDA Rural Development agency.  It provides sewer service along Daniel Boone Highway from Gate City's existing sewer system near the old rock quarry west to just past the Hob Nob.  Construction started in September 2019 and the main lines were completed and put in service in 2021.  The final part of the project is installing a sewer under the railroad at Trinity Bell Church to serve the church and several residences west of there on that side of the tracks.  We have encountered difficulties with boring under the railroad tracks at that location but will be attempting it again as soon as the railroad's inspection service schedules the work. Completion of the remaining sewer near Trinity Bell Church is expected in 2026.

This project will serve Federal Road/Shoals Lane and Hunters Valley East Road and Hunters Valley West Road.  Construction started in August 2024 with completion of the Hunters Valley East Road waterline in August 2025.  Our crew completed the Federal Road/Shoals Lane waterline and it went in service in February 2026.  The waterline extension on Hunters Valley West Road will be constructed in 2026.  Funding for this project is by a $600,000 grant from Virginia Department of Health.
