The amendments to Section 4-130 will add a DCSM modification procedure, allowing application for a low-pressure force main for individual residences. The amendments to the water and sanitary sewer details will: ensure quality construction that complies with the latest industry standards; provide clarification; simplify administration & enforcement of field construction; conform the DCSM to current Town and industry standards; and delete detail sheets for facilities no longer needed or required by the Town.
This Design and Construction Standards Manual ordinance amendment application is identified as case number TLENOA-2024-0001. Copies of these proposed amendments to the DCSM are available at the Department of Utilities, 1385 Russell Branch Parkway, Leesburg, VA during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), or by emailing your inquiry to utilityengineering@leesburgva.gov.
