Dear CWCA Residents:

The CWCA Board has been investigating issues of low water pressure that have recently been reported by some Chesterbrook residents.

We have confirmed the low pressure IS from the sidewalk project on Chesterbrook Rd that extends from 41st St to Maddux La. Fairfax County Dept of Transportation’s (FCDOT) contractor had to move the water main along Chesterbrook Rd to make way for the sidewalk. This low pressure is because we are temporarily getting water from a different main while the transition is taking place from old to new main on Chesterbrook Rd. Fairfax Water said we should expect this low pressure to last another 4 to 7 days while they finalize the transition (there are 4 connection points and they’re working on #2 of the 4 right now). After this time window, the connection will be redirected back to the Chesterbrook Rd main as the water source and normal pressure will be resumed.

You may have noticed that FCDOT is making progress on the upper portion of the sidewalk project starting at 41st (curb and gutter has been laid and the sidewalk will soon go in there). The contractor will then work its way down from 41st St to complete the sidewalk ending at Forest La (that whole segment is estimated to be completed this summer).

With a longer term timeline, there is also work being done to prepare for Little Pimmit Run stream restoration (which will help neighbors along Forest/Woodland Terr and N Albemarle) and to install a much larger storm water pipe under Chesterbrook Rd at N. Albemarle. This is a long overdue project to correct flooding at that intersection when we have heavy rains. A sidewalk segment will be installed after that work is completed.

Our thanks to neighbors whose properties are adjacent to the sidewalk work and to all the drivers who are patiently bearing with lane closures and construction. These projects will result in a safe passage for pedestrians to travel all the way from Kirby Road to Glebe Road and for improved water management.

The Board will talk about the sidewalk project schedule in a little more detail at the CWCA Spring Meeting at Chesterbrook ES on April 22nd at 7 pm. We hope you’ll join us!

Kind Regards,
CWCA Board
