Construction and Tree Impacts Planned to Begin This Spring
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission water main replacements planned for Twinbrook will mean construction and street tree removal.
The construction is scheduled to begin in the spring and be completed by spring 2019, weather permitting. WSSC will rehabilitate 3.73 miles of water mains and 0.18 miles of sewer mains. The majority of the mains were installed in the 1950s and have reached the end of their useful life.
The plans call for reconnecting or relocating water lines to help preserve 97 mature street trees. Twenty-seven trees that are either in poor condition or located directly on top of the water line are scheduled to be removed. Homes where tree removal is scheduled will receive notices from WSSC. Excavation may require additional tree removal. WSSC will replace all trees that are removed, as space allows.
Construction could lead to traffic impacts.
