DPW contractors began cleaning and repainting (inside and out) two water storage tanks on Pleasant Hill in June. Together the two tanks hold 1.3 million gallons of water and the rehabilitation will cost $900,000. The small tank was completed in November. The larger tank is expected to be completed by the middle of this year. Currently there is a gap in the top of the tank as contractors wait for replacement pieces to be fabricated in Virginia. "However," say engineers, "work is on schedule."

Water Lines Cleaned in Ruxton Ahead of Schedule
The Department of Public Works has completed a major water line rehabilitation in the Ruxton area between Belona, Malvern, Charles, and Joppa roads. Most of the old pipes serving about 600 homes have been cleaned and lined, improving pressure for the community. Only the line on Roland View Avenue remains, say engineers. It will be finished in late spring along with the final house connections to a replacement line in Belona.
