Sanitary Sewer Relining Project in Rosslyn

Arlington County is working to rehabilitate approximately 2,300 linear feet of 33-inch to 36-inch sanitary sewer lines in the Rosslyn area using a trenchless rehabilitation method known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), which extends the life of sewer lines without the need for excavation.   The project is anticipated to be completed by late September 2026.
