The Wythe County Board of Supervisors approved a suite of Water & Wastewater Committee recommendations tied to Fort Chiswell and Route 52 projects. Supervisor Jesse R.

The Board also approved Change Order No. 1 for the Phase I pump station installation, increasing the contract by $23,524.29, and waived connection fees totaling $8,500 for named customers on the Fort Chiswell/Route 52 sewer extension (King Mobile Home Park, Fort Chiswell Church of God, Church of Latter-day Saints, a commercial building/auto parts garage, Fort Chiswell EMS and five residential customers). The Board approved engineering agreement amendment adjustments with The Thrasher Group contingent upon the firm's acceptance of reduced amendment amounts ($12,450 and $5,000). All motions passed unanimously.
The actions advance implementation of sewer extensions and pump station work intended to expand service in the Fort Chiswell area and relieve capacity constraints for the identified customers.
