The Town of Cape Charles is in the process of optimizing its water and wastewater treatment plants, as well as examining the need to possibly expand the existing plants or construct new treatment plants. Stearns and Wheler is completing the preliminary engineering for the project. Short term optimization recommendations have been developed, as well as demand projections for future treatment needs. Please review the documents below for further information.

Water and Wastewater Connection Charge Increase Information - Water and wastewater connection charges have been increased to fund future utility facility needs. The increase is based on future growth projections and estimated costs.

Demand Projections - This document provides estimates of future demand for water and wastewater treatment in Cape Charles. Demand projections are used to determine necessary future treatment capacity.

Immediate Needs Study - This study examines the existing conditions of the water and wastewater treatment plants and recommends actions for optimizing the operation of these plants. The Town is currently in the process of implementing these recommendations.
