King George Service Authority is currently working to interconnect its systems. The authority has nine systems. Of these nine, four are planned to be interconnected over three ongoing projects.
- The Canterbury System will be connected to the Courthouse System and is expected to be complete by Spring 2026. This project will include the installation of a water line along Route 3 from Tractor Supply to the existing system bordering the north side of Canterbury Loop.
- The Circle System will be connected with the Courthouse System and is expected to be complete by Spring 2026. This project will include the installation of a water main line along Route 205 from King George Elementary around Circle Loop onto Action Lane.
- The Courthouse System will be connected to the Hopyard System, resulting in the connection of the Circle, Canterbury, Courthouse and Hopyard systems, which is expected to be complete by Fall 2026. Water and wastewater lines will be installed along Route 3 from Comorn Road to Port Conway Road, and a wastewater line will extend along Port Conway Road to connect with the existing treatment plant. Simultaneously, a separate project to decommission the Purkins Corner Wastewater Treatment Plant will be taking place.
These improvements are funded by $21 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grants from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) and Virginia Department of Health (VDH). These projects will allow the authority to replace aging infrastructure and interconnect operations to create redundancy, which allows service to continue in the event of a break or other emergency, as well as position the authority for future success in service and compliance for upcoming regulations and mandates.
