Loudoun Water’s Board of Directors agreed Jan. 13 to study the option of a central pipeline extension to a community north of Leesburg.
The study will explore costs and quality of water associated with a pipeline extension from the Town of Leesburg to Raspberry Falls, a community of about 250 homes operating on communal wells.
One of the two wells serving the community was shut down Nov. 16 after the state Department of Health determined it was groundwater under the direct influence of surface water or GUDI.
The determination means the well was more susceptible to contamination.
Loudoun Water agreed to the study, which will be developed through an agreement with the Town of Leesburg, after a Jan. 4 request from the county Board of Supervisors.
In addition to the pipeline option, Loudoun Water also will study water treatment options for Raspberry Falls and nearby Selma Estates.
