Welcome to the Moores Bridges Water Treatment Plant.  This plant was constructed in 1873 in what was then, Princess Anne County.   The plant takes its name from the two small bridges that were located here, First Moores Bridges and Second Moores Bridges.  The lakes that were spanned by these bridges are still here today but have been re-named to Lake Taylor and Lake Wright. At the time of construction, the facility consisted of a pumping station sending untreated lake water directly into the City of Norfolk, approximately five miles away.  There was no treatment of the lake water to remove contaminants like we have today.  

Today the plant is staffed and operated twenty four hours a day throughout the year. Currently we provide water to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, military facilities in both cities and parts of Chesapeake.

The City also operates the 37th Street Water Treatment Plant located on the west side of Norfolk adjacent to the Norfolk and Southern coal loading facility.  That plant was constructed in 1920 and serves the western half of the City as well as the Norfolk Naval Base. Together, the two treatment plants have a rated capacity of one hundred thirteen (113) million gallons per day.

Our state of the art facility has been recently upgraded to provide you with a consistently excellent product. 

We are here to serve you!
