Baptist Valley Sewer

The professional engineering services of Thompson & Litton were utilized by the Tazewell County Public Service Authority in central Tazewell County, Virginia on the Baptist Valley Phase I (East) Sewer Project.

The project was a massive undertaking initiated by the County and funded through a variety of resources. The project extends west from the Town of Tazewell along State Route 631 to the intersection of State Routes 631 and 16, Route 635, Adria, Stoney Ridge and a portion of State Route 645.

T&L provided comprehensive planning, surveying, design, permitting, bidding and construction administration services for:

• The extension of more than 72,000 LF of gravity sewer;
• 1,500 LF of force main;
• Multiple pump stations; and
• All related appurtenances

Service was provided to approximately 945 residential and 10 commercial connections. This area has previously had no access to a public sewerage system and has in the past primarily utilized privately owned and maintained on-site septic systems.

Funding for the Baptist Valley East Sewer Line Extension was provided by grants from the Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Housing and Community Development and by the Southern Rivers Watershed Enhancement Program.

The $10.1 Million was completed in July 2011.
