News & Announcements

  • Major Improvements Coming to Arlington’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. Arlington County this month launches Arlington Re-Gen, a major modernization of its Water Pollution Control Plant on South Glebe Road. This will be the initial phase of a multi-year upgrade effort to make the facility cleaner, greener, and ready for the future. The Arlington project has been in the works for several years and is unrelated to the recent DC water sewage spill in the Potomac River.

  • Metro Closures. Three metro stations in Northern Virginia will be closed for several weekends in Spring 2026. Crystal City, Reagan National Airport (DCA) and Potomac Yard will be closed March 7-8, May 9-10, and May 16-17. After that, Crystal City will be closed for an additional four weekends.
