Arlington’s Water Treatment Plant: What Is All That Pounding?!?
December 11th, 2007 Categories: Around Arlington County, Crystal City, Going Green
If you’ve been past the edge of Crystal City by Route 1 and Glebe Road in Arlington, VA during any weekday, you may have noticed or heard all the construction at the water treatment plant. Here is Arlington County’s youtube video explaining the details of this expansion. Construction is never fun to be around. But this plant was late updated in the 1970s. I’m glad that it’s being expanded. I’m not glad that the people in the surrounding neighborhoods have to live through the pounding.
We don’t often realize what happens to the water we flush down the toilet or flush down the garbage disposal. Around here it ultimately ends up in the Chesapeake Bay. And we are all trying to “Save the Bay.” It’s hard to believe that our own Four Mile Run is a Chesapeake watershed when we are miles from the bay.
Maybe we don’t volunteer in a Save the Bay project, but how we live our daily lives has an impact.
Ohhh Right in the middle of town… we have one to. A part of modern living- Cyrstal City, Arlington, Shirlington or Charlotte for that matter,thanks for staying on top of it Mary. Terry McDonald
