Water and Sewer Systems Drive Fredericksburg Growth
Fredericksburg won cityhood in 1933 to gain a water system and sewage disposal plant. By 1936 the system was completed with 25 miles of lines, now expanded to over 2 miles of main, 123 fire hydrants, and more than 1100 water and sewer connections. Three wells supply city water with upgrades planned for capacity, while the sewer plant southeast of town added sludge drying and earned state recognition for effluent use.
