Site work for a water / sewer project in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project includes the design and construction of a regional stormwater management facility. The Regional Stormwater Management Facility has potential to provide stormwater management, both water quality treatment and quantity management, to address flooding of streets, for the future redevelopment of private properties that front the south side of 17th Street between North Birdneck Road and Cypress Avenue within the service area of the facility. The project includes improvements to the stormwater system along 17th Street east to Washington Avenue and additional improvements to the east and west of the new facility to redirect stormwater to the proposed stormwater pond. The project includes improvements to the downstream stormwater system to discharge the stormwater from this new pond. Improvements to the downstream stormwater system will require acquisition of permanent drainage easements. Some of the stormwater that is redirected will result in discharging stormwater from land that previously discharged to the Lynnhaven River watershed and redirecting it to the Rudee Inlet watershed. The project includes new stormwater management facilities on the north side of 17th Street to offset water quality reduction impacts to existing stormwater management facilities. This wet pond, a VA Best Management Practice Clearinghouse Level 2, will remove nutrients, sediment, and bacteria from stormwater prior to being discharged to Rudee Inle Project is included in the Capital Improvement Plan for 2024-2029. As of October 2, 2023, project is funded for FY24-27. Construction is expected November 2026-December 2027. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
