The purpose of this web page is to provide information about the construction of reliability improvements at Fairfax Water’s Tyson’s 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.

Fairfax Water’s Tyson’s Corner Pump Station Onsite Power Generation Project began construction in the Fall of 2009 and is expected to last for a period of approximately 1-1/2 years. Construction work is scheduled during normal working hours and Fairfax Water will be taking steps necessary to minimize noise, traffic, and other construction impacts to the community.
