The purpose of this web page is to provide information about the construction of reliability improvements at Fairfax Water’s Tysons Corner Pump Station. These improvements are designed to ensure continuity of water utility service to the surrounding community during local and regional power outages by generating electricity on-site during interruptions in the commercial power supply. This project consists of adding an electric power generator inside the existing pump station as well as related outside support equipment.

This project was initiated to provide safe and adequate water supplies during interruptions in the distribution of commercial electric power. Installation of an electric generator at this facility is part of a multi-million dollar investment being made by Fairfax Water to ensure continuity of water service during normal as well as emergency operating conditions.

Power generation facility construction is estimated to take approximately 13- months and will be restricted to normal working hours. The impact to traffic flow on International Drive and Lincoln Lane is expected to be minimal. Every reasonable effort will be made to minimize dust, noise and environmental impacts during this work and all applicable county construction restrictions will be satisfied.
