• Fairfax Water looks to replace Seven Corners water tank with bigger model (ffxnow.com) — A major upgrade is planned for the aging water tank serving the Seven Corners Apartments, with Fairfax Water seeking county approval to replace the 75-year-old, 200,000-gallon tank with a 1-million-gallon model. The new tank would move within the complex near Upton Hill Regional Park, improve fire protection and emergency capacity for the Willston Pressure Zone, and potentially reshape future redevelopment of the property.
