Yesterday, teens with Volunteer Alexandria talked to operators, maintenance techs, IT professionals and engineers about what it’s like to work for AlexRenew and how they got into the industry.

Meet the Deep Rake System in the pumping station! This rake travels down a 160-foot shaft to remove trash and debris from combined sewage in the Waterfront Tunnel, separating it into a dumpster for disposal.

We’re just two weeks out from RiverRenew going live! Stay tuned as we introduce more components of this massive system that will prevent millions of gallons of combined sewer overflows from entering Alexandria’s waterways each year.

Good morning Alexandria! Beautiful blue skies today as crews remove the bulkhead gates that separate the Pendleton Street diversion facility from the Waterfront Tunnel. This means RiverRenew Plaza will be closed for a few days, but for good reason: we’re setting the stage for a cleaner, healthier future for our community and our waterways starting July 1, 2026.
