WA maintains and operates the Dalecarlia and McMillan Water Treatment Plants (WTPs). Raw water diverted from the Potomac River flows via gravity to the Dalecarlia Reservoir through two conduits that are approximately nine miles long. The water from the Dalecarlia Reservoir is distributed to both the Dalecarlia Plant and via the Georgetown Reservoir to the McMillan Plant. The Georgetown Reservoir consists of three basins which are used as the primary sedimentation basin for all water that flows to the McMillan WTP. It also has four main structures and these are the Influent Gatehouse, the Castle Gatehouse, the Pipe (Meig's) Vault, and the West Shaft Gatehouse. The Castle Gatehouse was built in 1902 and it is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) and is the only building built that replicates the Corps of Engineers insignia on all four sides. These four structures are in various stages of deterioration and are in need of repairs. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of providing a comprehensive rehabilitation to the four buildings at the Georgetown Reservoir to address architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical issues. This project will also repair the gravel road around the reservoir, replace portions of the perimeter fence and remove sediment from an 84" conduit that by-passes the reservoir.
