Construction crews are still on the scene at the intersection, working on the water main break. Traffic is still moving very slowly down Dale Boulevard, and only one lane is available to move traffic. There has been no official update on when roadway use will return to normal.
2:39 p.m.
According to Samantha Villegas, External Affairs Consultant for Virginia American Water – the organization responsible for that area – a construction contractor bored though the 24″ water main at the intersection.
“The 24″ water main that was damaged is on the Fairfax intake side, so the pressure is low. Â We are in the process of shutting the water off. Â There will be no one without water at this time. Â The tanks are being filled and crew is on site for repairs,” said Villegas.

According to Prince William police, both westbound lanes of Dale Blvd between Ashdale Plz and Gideon Dr will be closed for water main repairs. Unknown expected completion time. Officers are on scene, follow police direction and use caution.
Original post
The intersection of Dale Boulevard and Gideon Drive is currently under water.
Cars driving through the intersection today passed through several inches of running water that was flowing out from under the sidewalk in front of the Sunoco gas station.
“We have just sent out someone in that area to take a look at that,” said Keenan Howell, spokesman for the Prince William Service Authority.
Howell stated that there needs to be a determination as to who is responsible for fixing the issue, as the Prince William Service Authority territory and American Water’s territory are divided in that area.
