pipe line across the breadth of Loudoun County.
(2) The quality of the water in the Potomac as it passes Prince William County to the east, due to its pollution and salinity, would result in high treatment costs, making its use prohibitively expensive.
(3) The most feasible and economical course would be to use a supply resulting from the Salem Church Reservoir project on the Rappahannock River. The Salem Church Reservoir will impound vast amounts of high quality water that can be piped into the Occoquan Basin at a reasonable and attractive cost.
Salem Church Reservoir can assure ample water for Prince William County and also additional portions of the Virginia SuburbanWashington Metropolitan Area for the foreseeable future. Fairfax County areas adjacent to Prince William will also have future requirements for supplementary water supply, water quality control and dilution of treatment plant effluents which increasingly menace its current prime water source, the Occoquan Creek. Salem Church water channeled through Prince William County water basins can satisfy these needs.
It is to be noted that Fairfax County Water Authority has for some years drawn a large quantity of water daily (up to 15.0 MGD) from the Falls Church system, supplied by the Washington Aqueduct facility from the Potomac River above Washington.
