The Hampton Roads Sanitation District is studying the closure of the Urbanna, Saluda, and West Point wastewater treatment plants. The plan involves redirecting wastewater to the Hampton Roads Sanitation District Williamsburg plant, requiring 25 miles of new pipeline. This shift aims to reduce treatment costs, as Hampton Roads Sanitation District’s larger plants are more efficient. The Hampton Roads Sanitation District expects the transition to cut capital expenses and improve wastewater management, with plans to include this in the upcoming fiscal year’s capital improvement plan.
