Summary
A Dewberry consultant presented a sewer-capacity study for the US 58 West area, projecting future flows from a proposed mixed-use development and nearby parcels, and recommended a phased hybrid alternative (force main plus later gravity sewer) estimated at $17.7 million to $18 million in total, with short-term work roughly $8.5 million.
Pittsylvania County staff and consultant Dewberry briefed the Board of Supervisors on May 20, 2025, about a sewer capacity analysis for the US 58 West system intended to assess existing capacity and options to serve a proposed mixed-use development west of Danville and potential residential growth along the corridor.
Greg Adcock, county staff, introduced Leslie Mantiply, senior associate at Dewberry, who summarized the study. Mantiply said the analysis reviewed existing gravity sewers, three county pump stations (Deer Crest, Pine Lake and Ragsdale), and force mains; it used pump-station run times, rainfall data and flow metering to estimate current loads and project future needs. "We recently completed a sewer capacity analysis study in our 58 West system," Mantiply said.
Dewberry modeled future flow using two methods. One approach applied a conservative density (50% of the Westover District) to…
