We had fun hosting a tour for students from Graham Park Middle School! They heard from our General Manager/CEO, about careers in the water industry, learned about wastewater treatment with our Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, and saw inside the lab with one of our Laboratory Supervisors!

When fats, oils and grease (FOG) go down the drain, they stay there and build up in the pipes, making pipes more likely to clog. The photos below are from actual sewer lines with FOG buildup in them!
Never pour FOG down the drain - store it in a heat-safe container and throw it away in the trash.
The image shows two crossed flags and says "Happy Presidents Day" underneath the flags.
Prince William Water's business office will be closed on Monday, February 16 in observance of Presidents Day. We will reopen Tuesday, February 17 at 8 a.m.

These tips will make the most out of your salt and prevent excess from entering our waterways:
-Clear snow before using any salt.
-Use a metal-edge shovel to scrape up ice.
-Shovel early before the snow turns to ice.

A pickup truck bed is being filled with salt for preventing ice.
Our teams are preparing for the winter weather by equipping trucks with plows, preparing facilities for ice, setting up adequate staffing and preparing for any water main breaks. We are ready to provide quality service 24/7.

A three person crew in hardhats and bright safety gear work on a water main break at night. There is a large excavator and other vehicles all shining lights on a patch of road that is wet. At the bottom of the image in a blue banner it reads "Question: Why are there more water main breaks during winter?"
A blue-green box covers the image from the first slide. it reads "Cold weather causes the ground to shift, putting stress on the pipes. This can lead to up to three times as many breaks as in the summer. Our experts are always ready to respond quickly and keep service interruptions to a minimum."
Did you know water main breaks happen more often in winter?
Cold weather causes the ground to shift, putting stress on pipes. The ground shifting can lead to cracks, leaks or breaks- up to three times more frequently than in summer!

Great advice for the upcoming snow!
Lower temperatures can cause pipes to freeze or burst. Protect your pipes before the temperature drops!
- Report missing meter lids to us.
- Insulate pipes in unheated areas and seal air drafts.
- Ensure your family knows where the main water shutoff is
