Pound River 

Interceptor Project

Virginia Clean Water 

Revolving Loan 

Fund Program

The Wise County Public Service Authority has applied for funding from the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund to replace the existing Pound Sewer Interceptor, primarily located in the Pound River. The project includes the replacement of approximately 17,100 linear feet (3.24 miles) of gravity sewer, with in-place rehabilitation of approximately 300 linear feet, and associated appurtenances (e.g., manholes) serving the town of Pound, Wise County, Virginia. The purpose of the Project is to replace the sewer line due to integrity concerns related to line age, and to move the sewer line route outside the boundaries of project-area waterbodies. A pump station and approximately 1,500 linear feet of 6-inch force main are also proposed to eliminate the need for some very deep sections of gravity. The loan request is $421,203.00. A Preliminary Engineering Report and an Environmental Assessment prepared for the project are on file at 5622 Industrial Park Rd, Norton, VA 24273 and available for public review between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or you may visit
