In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the positive developments regarding funding and pricing for the 460 water project. A letter from Anthony Hess of the Virginia Department of Health reassured stakeholders that their funding remains secure, alleviating concerns about potential financial losses.

The meeting highlighted the successful bid by Sanderson Pipe Corporation, which has committed to maintaining the current pricing for the necessary materials for the Tassel waterline replacement until December 31, 2024. This commitment is crucial, as officials noted that any delay in proceeding with the project could result in increased costs if a rebid becomes necessary.

To mitigate risks associated with potential price hikes, there was a proposal to purchase the required pipe and store it until the project receives final approval from rural development authorities. The decision to move forward with this plan will ultimately rest with the governing body, but the consensus indicates a strong desire to secure the advantageous pricing while ensuring the project's timely execution.
