Update on Lake Thoreau Pool

Source: Reston Association

The Reston Association project team is still working to obtain the required permits from local and state agencies. Construction has been delayed to early June due to these ongoing efforts, but once permits have been secured, on-site work can begin. Work will be performed Monday through Friday starting no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and ending no later than 7:00 p.m. Weekend work is not anticipated but will be communicated in advance should it be deemed necessary. Noise levels will vary and will be at their greatest during the first few months of the project during the site work and demolition phase. Heavy machinery, dump trucks, jack hammers, and heavy drilling should be expected.

Construction is planned to take 12 months following mobilization so, assuming construction begins soon, a reopening early in the 2023 swim season is still likely. However, ongoing supply chain disruptions, labor shortages caused by COVID-19, or severe weather disruptions may affect this schedule. Multiple steps are being taken to anticipate and minimize these impacts whenever possible.

Thank you for your continued interest in this project. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints leading up to or during the project, please contact the RA Capital Projects Department at capitalprojects@reston.org or call 703-435-6556.
