Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan delivered $959,752 last week to Prince George County to support the county’s Water Transmission Main Appomattox River Crossing Project.
The project will construct approximately 2,200 linear feet of 24-inch-diameter drinking water transmission line. The water transmission line will replace an existing 16-inch-diameter waterline that is hung on the Temple Avenue bridge over the Appomattox River. The project will ensure customers have a reliable means of receiving drinking water.
“I commend Prince George County for its efforts to modernize its water transmission infrastructure,” McClellan, who represents Virginia’s District 4, said. “This project will allow the County to provide customers with safe, potable, reliable drinking water. I look forward to seeing these federal funds be put to good use.”
Prince George County Board of Supervisors member Marlene Waymack thanked McClellan for her support.
“The financial support that Rep. McClellan brings to us is an investment in our community,” she said.
The Prince George County Utility Department is also grateful to McClellan.
“The funding allows the county to better serve our customers by replacing a critical asset that has experienced multiple failures and better ensures the delivery of drinking water to Prince George County customers.”
During the appropriations process for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), McClellan successfully secured more than $15 million for all 15 projects she submitted on behalf of localities in Virginia’s District 4.
