Stafford to demolish Berea water tank, with plans for new $2.5M ‘Celebrate Virginia’ tank

The Stafford County Department of Utilities has started the bidding process for a new 1 million gallon water tank to be built in Stafford on Greenbank Road.

The project has been budgeted for $2.5 million in the capital improvements plan for the county, said Mike Smith, Director of the utility department.

Residents are currently served by the water tank on Berea Church Road, which will remain in service until the new tank is completed, according to Bryon Counsell, manager for the project at the Stafford utility department.

According to a county release, the Berea tank will be demolished after the new water storage tank is in service.

“The Berea tank, which currently serves that area, has outlived its useful life and is too small to provide adequate water and storage for future needs of customers in that area,” said Shannon Howell, Public Information Officer for Stafford.

According to Howell, the water tank is being called the Celebrate Virginia – England Run water storage tank due to its proximity to Celebrate Virginia Parkway.

The project for the new water tank will include construction of the large water tank itself, the access road, and pipes to connect the tank to the county’s water main system, according to a county release.
