The proposed Sanitary Sewer Collection System Plan is designed to prepare the county for continued growth through 2045. Despite the surge in development planned for the county over the next two decades, the plan does not call for expanding Arlington's current sewer infrastructure. Instead, according to a county report, the most substantial change would be an increase in how often the county cleans out small-diameter sanitary sewers. Flushing pipes of 12 inches in diameter and less every five years would cost $330,000 annually, increasing the average household's water bill by about $2.11 each year. The Arlington County Board is scheduled to vote on the proposed plan at a meeting tomorrow morning. The reason the county does not need more sewer lines, according to a staff presentation to the Planning Commission last week, is that plumbing fixtures and appliances have become more efficient over time. Every day, Arlington uses about 5 million gallons of water less than when the county approved the current sewer plan in 2002. This is despite the fact that the county has about 46,000 more residents than it did 22 years ago. "The trends are going the right way," Planning Commissioner James Lantelme said last week. "We're using less water." Population growth between now and 2045 is expected to increase Arlington's water usage by about 27%, or 6 million gallons per day, according to the presentation. This is still less than the county used in the late 1990s. __________________________________________________________ Scope of work includes the installation of approx. 59 water services, 34,328 lf of service line (3/4" - 1-1/2") to private line tie-in.
