Roanoke Valley Water Supply Pipeline Project

planned

The Western Virginia Water Authority is planning to address future water supply needs in the Roanoke Valley by constructing new water supply pipelines instead of building a new reservoir. The project involves options such as drawing water from Smith Mountain Lake, the James River, or pumping water from Spring Hollow to Carvins Cove, with associated infrastructure like pipes, pumps, and permits. This approach is driven by the water demand from Google's planned data center campus in Botetourt County and aims to secure water supply through pipeline infrastructure and water reuse options.
