Community members are invited to join City of Alexandria staff at an open house for the Colonial Avenue Sanitary Sewer Separation Project on Wednesday, November 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Charles Houston Recreation Center (901 Wythe St.) 

During the meeting, City staff and members of the project team will discuss construction approaches, and potential, temporary impacts during construction. City staff will also be available to answer questions and receive feedback from the community. 

The project will separate sanitary sewer pipes near the intersection of Colonial Avenue and Vernon Street from the combined sewer system and redirect sanitary flows to an existing, sanitary-only sewer line along North Fayette Street. Once complete, the project is expected to reduce sewer backups and basement flooding in the Westover neighborhood. Construction on the project is anticipated to begin in November 2026.

Additional information can be found on the project website.
