Excessive sidewalk and driveway salt can wash into our local waterways, including our drinking water sources. Prevent harm to our precious rivers, streams, lakes and the Chesapeake

Bay by using salt properly:

Clear snow before salting to make salt more effective.

To reduce or eliminate the need for salt, start by removing ice from your driveway and sidewalk with an aluminum-edged shovel.

Place salt in specific spots where it’s needed, rather than randomly scattering it.


Use less salt. A 12-ounce mug of salt should cover about 10 sidewalk squares.

Sweep up and reuse leftover salt.

We have launched Prince William Water’s first podcast! “Behind the Tap” is a quarterly video podcast where we will interview team members, answer customer questions and highlight how we can all protect water resources.


The first episode focuses on Imagine a Day Without Water. Communications & Community Engagement Director Kathy Bentz interviews our Deputy General Manager/Chief Administrative Officer Ari Nelson, and they touch on important topics like wise water use; smart salt use; and proper disposal of fats, oils and grease.


“Behind the Tap” demystifies how we deliver clean drinking water and reclaim wastewater for our 380,000 customers in Prince William County. The podcast and related content are available on our website at https://bit.ly/48ksiyu. You can also follow “Behind the Tap” on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Emergency Response Teams 


Water main breaks can happen anytime. Our Operations & Maintenance teams deploy quickly and work until the break is resolved, regardless of the time of day or the weather. They are the heroes who make sure our customers stay connected to water service.

Prince William Water employee teams compete in water and wastewater industry challenges that sharpen the essential skills needed to deliver safe, reliable service. In September, our wastewater team competed for the first time in events focused on lab testing, safety and maintenance.


In October, our drinking water team—the Hammerheads—participated in the statewide Utility Rodeo in Roanoke. In Hydrant Hysteria, we won first place overall and our women’s team was competitive in their division.


Other Hammerheads took first place in meter assembly and pipe tapping. These first-place wins qualify them for a national competition.
