This is a notification from Virginia American Water. Our contractor, Utilities Unlimited, will begin a water main replacement on East Walnut Street (from Commonwealth Avenue to Mount Vernon Avenue), Little Street (from East Oak Street to East Linden Street) and Mount Vernon Avenue (from East Walnut Street to East Oak Street). This project will improve water service reliability and increase water flow for firefighting needs. Weather permitting, construction work will begin the week of July 7, 2025. Work will take place Monday through Friday, with weekends work as needed, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. We estimate the water pipeline construction and final asphalt paving restoration of the water line trench will be completed in December 2025. It is important to note that our contractor will try to keep one traffic lane open at all times to local traffic as long as it can be done safely. Construction does not impact access to homes and driveways of residents. Please follow traffic control and the “NO PARKING” signage that will be posted by the City of Alexandria. Some construction noise will be unavoidable with this project, but our contractor will work to minimize the disturbance. If you are a landlord and water service is in your name, please inform your tenants so they are aware of this construction.
