Site work for a water / sewer project in Purcellville, Virginia. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Hirst Farm Pond Conversion The development of the Hirst Farm Subdivision started in 2002 and an extended detention dry pond was proposed as the storm water management facility for the entire project. During construction it was used as a sediment basin as specified in the Erosion/Siltation Control plans. Due to difficulties experienced by the developer the project was stopped before completion and the sediment basin was never retrofit to fully meet the criteria of Loudoun County for an extended detention dry pond.The Town of Purcellville now intends to explore the option of converting the existing facility into a wet pond. A wet pond is a facility that provides a permanent pool of standing water which promotes a better environment for gravitational settling, biological uptake, and microbial activity. The Town has been approved for a SLAF grant from the VA DEQ, in the amount of $300,000. This is a 50-50 split between the Town and the grant funds. Funding will cover design, bid services and construction. However, funds for reimbursement can be requested only after a contractor has been approved to move forward with the construction. Loudoun County has contributed 25% of the funding required for this project. Project is included Town of Purcellville Fiscal Year 2024-2028. As of May 30, 2024. A design team has been identified. General contractor anticipated to bid in May/June 2024. Construction is anticipated to take place June-December 2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
