HRSD is closing its Boat Harbor Treatment Plant in Newport News to further reduce nutrients discharged to the James River Basin, which will support local water quality and Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts. A new pumping station facility will be constructed at the Boat Harbor location, and wastewater will be pumped to HRSD’s Nansemond Treatment Plant in Suffolk. At the Nansemond location, wastewater will be highly treated prior to discharge to the James River. A significant portion of the treated water will undergo additional advanced treatment to meet drinking water quality standards to produce SWIFT Water™. To connect HRSD’s Boat Harbor and Nansemond facilities, construction of 31,000 feet of pipe is required. The pipe varies in size from 42 inches to 54 inches. The section installed under the Newport News Shipping Channel using horizontal direction drilling is 42 inches. The pipe then expands to 54 inches before reducing back down to 48 inches as the flow enters the Nansemond Treatment Plant for further treatment.

This work includes three separate projects: Boat Harbor Pump Station Conversion, Boat Harbor Underwater Transmission Pipe Installation, and Nansemond Treatment Plant Pipe Installation. To see more information, please check below in the “Update” section for a link to each project, including FAQ’s for each.
