However, much of the information is relevant, timely and important for all homeowners in Hayfield Farm. Thus I have put together a summary of the relevant information for you.

Washington Gas Presentation from 09/20/2017 HCA Meeting

by | Oct 7, 2017 | | 0 Comments

At our General HCA Meeting on September 20, Mr. Huey Battle from Washington Gas gave a presentation outlining Washington Gas work on Hayfield Road. They are installing a gas main on the park side of Hayfield Road, after which they will connect to individual houses. All houses on Hayfield Road are scheduled to receive a new service line. Some corner houses, whose gas is from the cross street (not from Hayfield Road) will not be affected at this time.

Work is expected to be completed by January 2018. Additional details were in the September 2017 HCA Hayfield News newsletter.  View the presentation by clicking on image on the left.

Word to the Wise
Now that Hayfield Farm has reached 50 years old, it would be wise for every home to have insurance to cover sewer pipe repair. One vendor that offers this insurance is Dominion Products and Services in your electric bill.  Web site:  https://www.dominionenergysolutions.com/en/home-protection/sewer-line
Some residents have learned to their sorrow that it is very costly to have the sewer line repaired; it’s much better to have the insurance. Insurance is also offered to have your landscaping repaired.

Given the impact on the neighborhood, this page is dedicated to updates and information related to the Hayfield Road Pipe Conveyance Project, also known as the Stormwater Project and Storm Drain Project.

Background Information:

The goal of the project is to improve stormwater management performance and address area flooding.  The project began in 2014 and will continue until winter 2018.  Currently there are 45 houses at risk during a major rain or flood event, primarily because of the local large parking lots surrounding the neighborhood.  Two houses have been purchased by the County and demolished due to flood damage, but a new 60″ pipe will help to divide the amount of water coming into Hayfield and hopefully eliminate the flooding problem.  Here is a sample of the letter that was sent out in 2014 describing the project, along with contact information if you have more questions.  If you really want to dig deep into the project, here is the overview about the Hayfield Road Pipe Conveyance System.  The storm drainage system  is a network of structures, channels and underground pipes that carry stormwater to ponds, lakes, streams and rivers.  They are maintained by VDOT and Fairfax County.

The best way to hear updates in-person is at a General Meeting when this is on the agenda.  We will continue to provide the most updated presentation from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services using the link that is embedded in the image to the right.  Stay tuned!
