Twinbrook Water Main Replacements to Begin This Fall

Planning Included Tree Preservation

Water main replacements in Twinbrook in late October or early November will mean daytime construction and street tree removal.

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission will rehabilitate 3.77 miles of water mains and 0.18 miles of sewer mains in an area north of Veirs Mill Road between Linthicum Street and Twinbrook Parkway; on Tweed Street; between Marcia Lane and Twinbrook Parkway; and on Meadow Hall Drive. Many of the mains were installed in the 1950s and have reached the end of their useful life. Construction is expected to take two years to complete.

Steps were taken to preserve 97 mature street trees. Twenty-six 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 received notices from WSSC in February. New tree planting sites have been selected to avoid future conflicts with underground and overhead utilities.

Signs will be posted before work begins to alert motorists to temporary lane closures and no parking zones. Household water service disruptions should be limited to a few hours during the day. Fire hydrants will remain operable at all times.
