Protecting the Prince William County Service Authority’s underground infrastructure from corrosion is another way to ensure reliable water service to the utility’s customers.

The Service Authority is in Lake Ridge implementing a proactive sewer line maintenance measure called CIPP. Typically performed twice a year, CIPP, or Cured In Place Pipe, is used in sewer mains across the county to prevent damage caused by tree root intrusion and fats, oils and grease that get into the sewer distribution system. This process adds decades of life to the sewer infrastructure and helps avoids costly replacement projects.

Get a glimpse of the time lapse we created of the Hoadly Water Tank rehabilitation project that just concluded this summer. The Service Authority has a 10-year maintenance plan to rehab all of its water tanks across Prince William County.

A year ago, Breanne Martin simply wanted to get her foot in the door at the Prince William County Service Authority.

Halfway through her second stint at the Service Authority, the Osbourn Park High School graduate and James Madison University rising junior has done much more than that thanks to the utility's summer hire program. This year, Martin is one of 31 other summer hires, all of them performing a variety of important smaller tasks integral to the Service Authority's mission.
