Project Overview
This project involves the addition of elevated water storage tanks in the southern area of Prince George’s County. The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) has undertaken a study to evaluate the water distribution system serving the southern area of Prince George’s County, primarily focusing on the 385B (Clinton) Pressure Zone. The project involves the addition of elevated water storage tanks and three new water transmission mains. The figure on the right identifies the study area and water system pressure zones included in the study. In addition to the 385B Zone, the study also included the three surrounding pressure zones: the 345A Zone to the southwest; the 280A Zone to the northeast; and the 317A Zone to the north of the 280A Zone.
The study recommended constructing two new 2 million gallon (MG) elevated water tanks in the 385B Pressure Zone.
