"Hog Island Pump Station & Sanitary Sewer Installation"
Surry Force Main and Pump Station – Dominion Power Extension
HRSD Capital Improvement Program Project (SU010400)
Webpage Reviewed: November 5, 2025
HRSD is undertaking a project to construct a new pump station and sanitary sewer pipeline to convey sewage flows generated at the Dominion Energy Surry Nuclear Power Station to the existing Mt. Ray Pump Station located on Mt. Ray Drive in Surry County. The project will convey only domestic sewage flows (restrooms, kitchens, etc.) from the Dominion facility. The Hog Island pump station will be constructed within the property of the Surry Nuclear Power Station property, and the sewer pipeline will be aligned along the Dominion Energy easement from the Power Station, crossing Route 10 to Mt. Ray. The project will allow closure of the existing sewage treatment plant serving the Power Station.
Project Cost: $9,000,000

November 5, 2025
The sewer pipe installation continues outside the Dominion Surry Power Station. Work is currently occurring at the pump station site. Please see the Project Map for the current work area.
The work will be confined to Dominion Energy property, VDOT Right of Way, and easements. The project will parallel Hog Island Road (Route 650) for a short distance from the Dominion Energy Surry Nuclear Power Station. The majority of the work will be located in the Dominion Energy Easement crossing Hog Island Road (Route 650), Landing Drive (Route 780), Old Brickyard Road, Burnt Mill Road (Route 628), and Colonial Trail East (Route 10). Construction traffic will be travelling along the listed roads periodically entering and exiting the work zone.

Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate
This project is a necessary to eliminate the existing sewage treatment plant located on the Dominion Energy Surry Nuclear Power Station property.
The route was selected to reduce impacts to existing property and minimize traffic disruptions.
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized, and in most cases, a single lane of traffic will be maintained. No planned detours are anticipated, but flagging will be used to help direct traffic as needed. The majority of the project work will be located within the public and private right-of ways, easements, and HRSD property.
The contractor will ensure access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services will not be affected. If necessary, the contractor will move trash containers from within a work zone to an area accessible for pickup and will be responsible for returning them to each residence.
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (7 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
Your water and sewer service should not be impacted by this project.
The majority of the work will be outside of pavement limits but within the public right-of-way and easements. Major road crossings will be completed by tunneling under the roadway. Minor roads may be open cut. Any surface features including pavements, curb, sidewalks, etc. damaged during construction will be restored.
The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, and associated activities should be anticipated.
The contractor will keep some supplies within the active work zone. Other materials will be stored at an offsite location.
Construction workers will not be allowed to park their personal vehicles on the public streets. However, work trucks will be allowed to park within the active work zone.
The estimated cost for the project is $9 million, and it is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
